Decision-grade data gives you a complete, current, and reliable view to find, screen, and track the companies your desk covers.
Pre-announcement raises
See the raise before it’s announced
Fundraisings picked up from shareholder filings rather than press releases — often months ahead of any announcement, and frequently never announced at all. That is the difference between being one of three calls and one of a hundred.
Investor portfolios
Follow the investor, not just the company
Who backs this client, and what else do they own? A known backer’s portfolio is the warmest expansion path a consultant has, and a change of ownership is the most reliable predictor of leadership churn there is.
Group structures
Find the rest of the group
Corporate structure resolved across the whole tree, so one client account turns into every subsidiary that sits under the same parent — companies you are already credible with and had no way to list.
Common challenges faced by recruitment and executive search firms
The raise is announced, the hiring budget is already allocated, and every agency on the same desk is calling the same week. A day of warning is the whole advantage — and the announcement gives nobody a day.
A private equity deal or a PE-to-PE transfer takes out the C-suite within months. That is your mandate, and you hear about it once the new chief executive has already been appointed by someone else.
Target lists get stitched together from Google, LinkedIn and Companies House, one company at a time. You finish with a list you cannot vouch for, having spent the morning building it instead of calling it.
Not “software” but a specific product and version. Not “finance” but what the desk actually trades. The specialism that makes you worth hiring is exactly the thing a standard classification cannot express.
The pipeline is the founder’s contacts and the senior consultants’ relationships. It works until the network goes quiet — and a new joiner has nothing to run at all.
Every consultant has their own method and their own list, so activity is invisible until it shows up as a gap in the pipeline. There is nothing shared to prioritise, review or coach against.
Help your team build prospect lists in seconds, prepare faster, and source candidates with confidence.
