Hire CXOs and senior leaders in India
Leadership hires shape a company for years. HyrEzy evaluates senior leaders on what their organisations achieved under them, and runs every leadership mandate as a confidential executive search.
Stage fit matters more than pedigree
An early-stage company needs a leader who builds from scratch; a scale-up needs someone who has run larger organisations and processes. Two leaders with identical titles can be a poor fit for each other's companies.
HyrEzy defines the stage, scope and the first year's priorities with you before approaching anyone. See the executive search page for how leadership mandates are run.
What separates strong candidates
- Organisations built and scaled, with outcomes over several years.
- Leaders they developed who now hold senior roles.
- Decisions under pressure: turnarounds, restructures, fundraising.
- Fit with your stage: builder or scaler.
- Reputation confirmed through structured references.
What to test in interviews
- What would you do in your first 90 days here?
- Tell me about a leader you hired who failed, and what you did.
- Which of your decisions most changed the business?
- How do you work with a founder who disagrees with you?
Common hiring mistakes
- Hiring for pedigree over stage fit.
- Running a public search for a confidential role.
- Skipping structured references at leadership level.

Frequently asked questions
Is a leadership search confidential?
Yes. Your company's name is shared with candidates only when appropriate, and approaches to candidates are handled discreetly.
How long does a leadership hire take?
Longer than other roles, often several weeks to a shortlist, because the best leaders are not actively looking.
What does it cost?
Leadership and CXO mandates are charged at 16% and above of annual CTC, with zero retainer and a 90-day replacement guarantee.
