Executive Search Services for Employers
Retained Quality.
Contingency Flexibility.
At Elliott International, we believe organizations shouldn't have to choose between the rigor of a retained search firm and the flexibility of a contingency recruiter.
For decades, we've helped companies identify and recruit exceptional leadership talent across industries, functions, and geographic markets. From Fortune 500 organizations and private equity-backed businesses to growing middle-market companies and family-owned enterprises, our clients trust us to find leaders who can make an immediate and lasting impact.
Elliott International is an Executive Search firm offering our clients retained-quality executive search services on a contingency basis. Our approach combines the thoroughness, research, and candidate evaluation typically associated with retained executive search firms while maintaining the responsiveness and flexibility our clients value.
As experienced executive recruiters, we understand that leadership hiring decisions directly influence growth, culture, performance, and long-term business success. Our executive search practice helps organizations recruit CEOs, Presidents, CFOs, COOs, CTOs, Managing Directors, Vice Presidents, Partners, Principals, and other senior leaders capable of driving business performance and organizational growth. Every search is conducted with discretion, market intelligence, and direct outreach to highly qualified candidates.
In addition to Executive Search, Elliott International provides Interim CFO, Controller, and VP Tax Services, giving clients access to experienced financial leaders who can step in when unexpected needs arise. We also support Acquisition Target Identification and Recruiting, leveraging our extensive network within public accounting and consulting to help clients identify acquisition opportunities and make valuable industry connections.
We have built one of the most extensive executive talent networks in the industry, giving our clients access to accomplished leaders who are often not actively pursuing new opportunities. Through years of relationship-building, industry expertise, and market intelligence, we help organizations connect with executive talent that might otherwise never be identified through traditional recruiting channels.

Discovery & Alignment
Every executive search begins with understanding your business. We take the time to learn about your organization, leadership team, culture, growth objectives, and the specific impact you expect the successful candidate to make.
Research & Market Intelligence
Our team conducts extensive executive recruiting research to identify target companies, industry talent, and market dynamics. This process allows us to develop a strategic roadmap for every executive search assignment.
Candidate Identification
We proactively engage qualified executives through our extensive network, proprietary database, referrals, and industry relationships. Many of the candidates we recruit are not actively seeking new opportunities and are unavailable through traditional recruiting methods.
Evaluation & Assessment
Beyond resumes and credentials, we evaluate leadership style, accomplishments, cultural fit, industry expertise, and long-term potential. Our goal is to present executive candidates who are not only qualified but positioned to succeed within your organization.
Interview & Selection Support
We coordinate interviews, facilitate communication, provide market feedback, and guide both clients and candidates through every stage of the executive recruiting process.
Offer & Transition Management
From negotiations to onboarding, we remain involved to help ensure a smooth transition and long-term success for both the organization and the selected executive.
We succeed when you succeed.
