A bad executive hire doesn't just cost you a salary. It costs you momentum.
The Problem
A vacant VP of Engineering or CMO seat stalls roadmaps, drains your leadership team's bandwidth, and signals instability to your own people. Generalist recruiters and internal hiring processes weren't built to move fast on searches this specific.
The Periscope Approach
Senior-led, specialist searches in technology and marketing leadership — combining 20+ years of relationship-driven recruiting with AI-assisted talent mapping that surfaces the passive candidates a job board never will.
From first call to signed offer
Discovery Call
We learn your team, culture, and what "right" really looks like for this seat.
Talent Mapping
Senior consultants and AI-assisted tools map the market, including passive candidates.
Shortlist Delivered
You meet a curated shortlist of vetted, interested candidates — not a stack of resumes.
Offer Support
We manage scheduling, feedback, and negotiation so nothing stalls late.
We Stay in the Loop
Post-placement check-ins — the search doesn't end at the signed offer.
Built around your outcome, not our org chart
Executive Search
When the seat is CTO, CMO, VP Engineering, or Head of Growth, the cost of a wrong hire is too high for guesswork. Every search is led personally by a senior consultant, start to finish.
Technology & Marketing Recruiting
Beyond the executive suite: the developers, digital marketers, data analysts, and product talent that make a leadership hire actually succeed.
Hiring Strategy & Team Design
We refine your hiring process, structure your team, and build a pipeline so your next search moves even faster than this one.
