Performance Structure

A rigorous, data-driven methodology designed to deliver predictable, high-quality outcomes for critical leadership appointments.

The Ax Frost Methodology

Our performance structure is built on the belief that executive search is a science as much as an art. We apply rigorous process controls to ensure consistency, quality, and speed.

01

Strategic Discovery

We begin by immersing ourselves in your organization to understand your culture, goals, and specific leadership needs. This forms the foundation of our search strategy.

02

Market Mapping

Using proprietary data and networks, we map the talent landscape to identify potential candidates who align with your criteria, looking beyond the obvious choices.

03

Rigorous Assessment

Candidates undergo a multi-stage assessment process evaluating not just skills, but leadership capability, cultural fit, and long-term potential.

04

Integration & Success

Our partnership continues through onboarding and integration, ensuring the new leader has the support needed to deliver early wins and long-term value.
