What executive technology roles does Qfyre search for?

Qfyre conducts executive search for CTO, CIO, VP Engineering, Chief Data Officer, Chief AI Officer, Director of Engineering, and GCC Head roles across BFSI, Healthcare, and Hi-Tech sectors.

What is the difference between retained and engaged executive search?

Retained search requires a non-refundable upfront fee and commits Qfyre exclusively to the mandate. Engaged search requires a smaller initiation fee. For confidential mandates requiring deep market mapping, retained is recommended.

How long does an executive search take?

A well-structured executive search reaches a qualified shortlist within 3-4 weeks and offer acceptance within 8-12 weeks from mandate briefing.

Why Executive Hiring Is Different

The Stakes Are Higher. So Is Our Process.

Complete Confidentiality

Discreet outreach, blind approach where required, and strict information management protocols. Your mandate is not visible to the market unless you authorise it.

Full Market Mapping

Comprehensive competitor and adjacent market mapping before outreach begins. You see the full talent universe for your role - active and passive - with honest assessments of reachability.

180

180-Day Guarantee

Extended replacement guarantee for all retained engagements. Post-placement onboarding support and 90-day integration check-ins as standard.

The Executive Search Process

Structured. Discreet. Outcome-Focused.

Leadership Brief and Stakeholder Alignment

Structured sessions with the board, CEO, or CHRO to align on the leadership profile - not just skills and experience, but operating style, cultural fit, and strategic mandate requirements.

Market Mapping and Competitor Intelligence

Full mapping of the target candidate universe across direct competitors, adjacent sectors, and global markets. Honest reachability and compensation benchmark assessment presented before outreach begins.

Discreet Outreach and Engagement

Confidential, personalised engagement with passive candidates. Our domain credibility opens conversations that generic outreach cannot. Candidates are assessed - not just approached.

Deep Assessment and Shortlist

Leadership competency assessment, cultural alignment scoring, stakeholder presentation preparation, and reference validation through structured frameworks. Maximum four profiles per shortlist.

Offer, Onboarding, and Integration

Negotiation support, joining coordination, and 90/180-day onboarding integration check-ins. We stay accountable for the success of the placement, not just the acceptance of the offer.
