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 and signals instability to your own people. Generalist recruiters aren't built for searches this specific.
The Periscope Approach
Specialist technology and marketing leadership searches: 20+ years of relationships plus AI-assisted mapping that finds 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.
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 the next search moves faster.
What you actually get
A Specialist, Not a Generalist

Speed Without Losing Judgment
AI-assisted mapping moves fast; a senior consultant makes every call on fit.
A Track Record, Not a Pitch

Never handed to someone you've never spoken with.
