Confidential Urgent Executive Search

Swift and discreet executive search services to find the right leaders for your organization.

Solving Your Confidential Vacancies Urgently

Are you feeling uncertain about your current board members but worried that your existing recruiter might leak sensitive information? 

Changing leadership at the highest levels, like CEO, CFO, COO, or Plant Manager, while the current executive is still in place, is a delicate process that requires a unique approach beyond typical recruitment.

At CE Interim, confidentiality is ingrained in our DNA, thanks to our extensive experience in Interim Management and Crisis Management. 

Most of our executive searches have been conducted discreetly within our existing Global Talent Pool, often initiated by parent companies abroad, private equity shareholders, or foreign investors, without the involvement of the local organization.

Over the past decade, we’ve built strong, confidential relationships with over 50,000 senior managers globally. We’re often among the first to know when these leaders are considering new opportunities. 

This enables us to quickly and discreetly identify and approach the right candidates without public advertisements or traditional recruitment channels. For particularly sensitive executive search situations, we work closely with our extensive network of Advisory Board Members to ensure the best possible outcome.

Confidential Urgent Executive Search

Confidential Urgent Executive Search is a specialized executive search service designed to help organizations quickly and discreetly find top-tier executive managers for critical leadership positions.

This service is particularly important in situations where confidentiality and speed are paramount, such as replacing an existing executive without causing disruption or revealing strategic changes to the market, handling unexpected terminations, or addressing no-show scenarios.
