We know great recruiting doesn’t just happen.
Leadership recruitment involves a comprehensive process, that requires a deep understanding of various leadership styles, relies heavily on a thorough grasp of the organisation's unique characteristics, and necessitates the ability and resources to draw in top-tier talent.
KTalent provides a service at the intersection of organisational psychology and executive search. Our processes are better because we dig deeper, no surface recruiting here! We ask the right and sometimes difficult questions to both our clients and candidates to better understand organisations and candidates' aspirations, inspirations, and the big picture for everyone.
Utilising our 7 steps approach helps to fully understand what makes each candidate unique and, subsequently, why that makes them perfect for you!
We meet with hiring managers and all important stakeholders to understand the uniqueness of the role and organisation
Crafting a persona for the perfect candidate entails blending a diverse array of characteristics, including personality traits, leadership approach, domain knowledge, and adaptability to flourish within a distinct organisational culture
The scarcity of leaders means it is important to understand how to engage with the hidden candidate market and have the right resoures to reach the right candidates
Our candidate information pack are designed to provide clarity and transparency to candidates on the role, the organisation and the process
Through our interviewing and executive search process, we identify the candidates that are close to the persona of the ideal candidate characteristics, including personality traits, leadership approach, domain knowledge, and adaptability to flourish within a distinct organisational culture
A big part of our process is to negotiate offers on your behalf and advise you on market rate as well as crafting offers that would be appealing to the right candidate
Our candidates will benefit from our unique LEAP program to support them during the transition period

When executives join a new organisation, we support them through the various challenges they will face. We support leaders with critical thinking such as:
We have partnered with strong and experienced coaches to bring you the support needed when you need it the most.
We help organisations and employees smoothly transition through a restructure by guiding people on their next career move, preserving employee morale, and maintaining your organization's reputation.
We understand that good leadership is about finding the right leadership at a point in time. Organisations change and with it the skills that are required. Our organisational psychology lens allows us to have a deeper analysis of the organisation, allow us to understand who thrives in your organisation and who will understand the particular set of challenges and opportunities it offers. From there, we develop a “persona” of the ideal candidate and craft a recruitment and search campaign that targets that specific demographic. And finally, we have developed a unique transition executive coaching program to support leadership throughout the change. Our point of difference is understanding your organisation’s point of difference. Our campaigns are uniquely designed to suit your organisation’s needs.
Organisational psychology is the scientific study of human behaviour in the workplace, its goal is to better understand and optimise the effectiveness, health, and well-being of both individuals and organisations.
We offer ongoing support to both clients and candidates. We have worked with executives coaches to develop our unique “LeaderShift Executive Program”
This program is to support both the organisation and the new leader or executive in the transition period to establish strong foundation for a successful appointment.
Our commitment to supporting both clients and candidates goes beyond the hiring process. This has contributed to our success so far.
According to the Harvard Business Review, 40% of newly appointed CEOs fail to meet performance expectations in their first 18 months, whether they come from outside or are promoted from within. New leaders may struggle to navigate political landscapes or implement the cultural changes their strategies require.
Our service includes tailored coaching sessions, feedback, and strategies to improve decision-making, team management, and communication.
Absolutely, executive contract roles are becoming more in demand. As organisations are more agile, they require specific skillset sometimes for a shorter period of time.
