Use the right route into this hub

If the mandate is already real, start with a confidential search conversation. If you still need market evidence, use the brief, market-map, or feasibility route first.

How this hub works

Four stages. One commercial hinge.

Every New York mandate runs KiTalent's full Proof-First process — the six-stage methodology you can read in detail on the methodology page, abbreviated here into the four stages a client actually experiences.

01

Map the market

Continuous competitor mapping across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the wider Americas. The hub maintains live target-company lists, sector pattern recognition, and salary benchmarks updated every quarter — every brief starts with current data, not last year's network.

Day 0–3Mapping

02

Approach passive talent

Direct headhunting only. The hub runs outbound conversations in English and Spanish with senior operators who are not on the market — KiTalent does not post jobs, advertise mandates, or rely on inbound CVs.

Day 1–7Outreach

03

Validate the shortlist

By Day 10, three to five interview-ready candidates with full profiles, compensation context, motivation, and KiTalent's interview reports. The interview fee is invoiced only if you validate the shortlist as fit for purpose.

Day 7–10Validation

04

Place & partner

Offer-stage negotiation, reference verification, onboarding handover. The interview fee is credited against the placement fee on hire. 96% retention after one year and 8+ year average client partnership across the four hubs.

Common questions

Five questions, before you brief.

What countries does the New York hub cover?

The New York hub anchors KiTalent's executive search across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with cross-border coverage of the wider Americas corridor on a project basis. The team runs multilingual searches in English and Spanish.

Who leads searches from the New York hub?

Searches from New York are led by a senior director with full mandate accountability for every Americas engagement. Brief calibration, direct headhunting, and shortlist validation are run from the Manhattan office. See the leadership section above for the full team.

How fast can the New York hub start a search?

A senior director responds within one working day. Mapping and direct outreach run in parallel from kickoff; a validated shortlist usually arrives in 7 to 10 working days, presented in a US-business-hours review session with the client.

How much does Proof-First Search actually cost?

There is no upfront retainer. The interview fee — invoiced only if you validate the shortlist within 7 to 10 working days — is absorbed into the final placement fee on hire. Net cost is comparable to a classical retained engagement, with materially less pre-proof exposure. See the Interview-Fee Model page for the full breakdown.

How does this hub coordinate with KiTalent's other hubs?

Cross-border mandates are co-led between hubs. Turin, New York, Nicosia, and Almaty share a single mandate-management system, common Proof-First protocols, and a unified candidate database. The hub closest to where the role will compete takes the lead; other hubs contribute mapping and outreach in their corridors.
