Executive Search

Our mandate is to trace and place outstanding corporate leaders, who can deliver on the results and expectations of client organisations.

OVERVIEW

At TATE LC, we specialise in executive recruitment at C-suite, Director and VP levels. With over two decades of pure executive search experience, we understand that confidential and nuanced search assignments require sophisticated skills and extensive market understanding to convert a potential to a hire. More important to us, is the paradigm within which this takes place.

Contrary to conventional belief, leadership is often viewed the same way as success. People hope to go as far as they can, climb the ladder and achieve the highest position possible for their talent. Reality is, the bottom line in executive placement isn’t how far individuals have advanced themselves, but how far they advance others. Success is measured by the value a candidate adds to the lives of others.

A vertical paradigm of approach rather than a geographical one, is used to identify the right candidate. Our in-depth knowledge of industry requirements, hiring competencies and quick turn-around times, enable us to partner leading Indian and global organisations, in search for highly competent senior executives.

These skills imbue us with a ‘preferred’ status as a retained search firm, specially for C-suite hires with leadership capabilities, to execute business turn-arounds, bring together high-performance teams and foster a culture of innovation.

As an intermediary between the client and the candidate, tact, discretion and integrity are key values we adhere to. Active involvement during the recruitment process and even after the position is closed, helps ensure that the joining, on-boarding and settling-in process, is smooth and successful.

Our focus on handling only retained search mandates reflects client confidence and has positioned us at the forefront of executive search organisations in India.

Great change is always driven by passion, seldom by position.

Energy & Infrastructure

A new wind blows across the energy landscape, specially in the infrastructure segment. The industry is challenged by a dearth of talent due to capacity building, attractive overseas opportunities and fierce competition within big to mid-size players. Leaders with the right competencies who can stay grounded amidst these challenges while steering their organisations to profitable operations, are much sought after.

We have a track record of identifying strategic leaders and teams for a range of high-profile clients in these domains.

Healthcare

The corporatisation of the healthcare sector calls for senior and dedicated leaders to steer organisations through challenging times.

The Healthcare industry has unique challenges which we are well aware of. Our expertise has helped onboard leaders who have the vision and the wherewithal to work towards achieving long-term business objectives. These individuals have steered their organisations towards ambitious growth and expansion.

Manufacturing & Engineering

Emerging technologies like AI, ML, Data Analytics and Automation have accelerated business evolution, impacting production, sales and manufacturing. Organisations mandate leaders who can manage this extraordinary pace. The call is for leaders equipped with a range of technical and leadership competencies who can cast vision, stand as role models and drive organisation-wide transformation.

Manufacturing and Engineering are amongst our strong suites with home grown domain experts and deep experience in these verticals. In almost all search assignments we have managed to instantly map candidates to companies and have on-boarded executives well within the agreed timelines.

Consumer Retail

Changing social norms and behavioural patterns coupled with the technology revolution are driving dramatic changes in consumer behaviour. Unpredictable business situations are the new normal. Agility in working with new age tools on one hand, while skills in relationship building, team play and mentoring are highly sought-after, on the other.

Our search assignments for a number of leading organisations in consumer services have enabled us to unearth a credible talent base of senior leaders with the necessary skills to discern trends and display business wins.

Education

Education, in all its avatars, continues to transform the lives of millions globally. We work with leading organisations to recruit future-focused leaders committed to serving, inspiring and casting vision for this business.

Our education practice partners with a range of clients including schools, universities and research institutes to identify and assess result-oriented leaders, capable of culturally syncing and leading our clients through excellence in a constantly changing world.

Banking, Financial Services & Insurance

The digi-tech wave has revolutionised the banking, financial services and insurance industries. These sweeping changes call for leaders with a future-focussed outlook coupled with the ability to lead their organisations through the rapids of eye-blinking change.

The quest to recommend senior leaders with vision, strategy and a goal-driven orientation at banks, financial and insurance service organisations is served with agility and speed of response. A structured search process enables us to assist clients in meeting their senior leadership talent acquisition needs.

Services & Technology

Talent acquisition today trumps business imperatives at most services & technology organisations, given the competition, new player churn, incessant innovation and humongous human resource needs.

Beyond market insights and deep industry experience, purpose and cultural fit have come to play a key role in leadership hiring across the services & technology landscape. Our extensive experience and assessment methodology ensures the right candidates are recommended. Post-joining, an on-boarding and hand-holding program ensures the individuals are well settled, comfortable, and hit the ground running.

Media

The super-competitive complexity of the media business calls for visionary leaders in the digital and media industries with a fluid, ever-changing set of abilities. The never-changing mandate however is the need to engage consumers and monetise those relationships effectively. This mandate evolves and expands by the year.

The tectonic shifts in the Media industry require senior leaders with the perspicacity to drive a fast-paced business engine. Our practice encompasses all aspects of the creative economy; including the expertise to harness and drive change.
