Instead of presenting it as a move away from consulting or operating leadership, we positioned it as an opportunity to bring the full breadth of a candidate’s experience into one seat: advising senior executives, shaping enterprise transformation, and translating that work into commercial value.
That narrative was grounded in intensive calibration. Before launching, we worked with BetterUp’s talent and senior leadership teams to understand the business mandate, examine prior search learnings, and align on what success actually required. Interviews with internal benchmark profiles gave us a more actionable starting point than a broad title-based market map.
Throughout the search, we used candidate feedback and interview-stage conversion data to refine the profile. Our compensation intelligence also helped BetterUp adjust its range to the caliber of talent the mandate demanded, rather than compromise on seniority to fit the original budget.
