For recruiters who want their name on the work
56 Executive Search is a small, deliberate firm built by people who got tired of volume desks. If you're an experienced executive recruiter with a sector you know cold, we'd like to talk.
Senior-only bench
No pods, no juniors to babysit. You work alongside recruiters who have closed C-suite mandates and know how to run a retained process.
Economics you can see
Transparent splits with real upside on what you originate. No opaque desk fees, no shifting targets mid-year.
Autonomy with support
Own your sector, your calendar, and your client relationships, with research, marketing, and back-office handled behind you.
Who Thrives Here
- Five or more years running retained or engaged executive search at the Director, VP, or C-suite level.
- A point of view on a market, and the relationships to back it up.
- Comfort with a narrow, research-led slate over a wall of résumés.
- A preference for honest counsel over easy answers, with clients and candidates alike.
