They answer a story.

Every search we run starts with one: why this company, why this moment, why them. Incumbent search firms got comfortable. The same shallow searches, the same tired lists, in the era that least forgives it. AI is rewriting what leadership means, and the executives who can drive that change through an organization won't answer a spec sheet or a cold InMail from an associate.

Operators first. Recruiters second.

We came to search from the operating side. We've scaled companies from scrappy startup to $150M ARR, and we built our careers on the two skills a search lives or dies on: getting the meeting nobody thought we'd get, and closing the person who wasn't looking.

We've hired executives, managed them, and sat in the rooms where they succeeded or stalled. We evaluate leaders the way the people who worked alongside them would, not the way a resume reads.

Both sides of the leadership team.

Most firms pick a lane: technical or go-to-market. We built Alloy on the belief that the strongest companies are made of both, and that a partner who understands the whole leadership team makes better placements on either half of it. The VP Engineering who can sit across from your CRO matters as much as either hire alone.

The wrong executive costs a company a year it doesn't have.

In AI, a year is the whole game.

Retained.

We take a small number of searches and finish them. No contingency spray, no parallel bets against your role.

Partner-led.

The person you hire is the person who does the work. No handoff to a research associate after the pitch.

Story-first.

Before we contact a single candidate, we build the pitch for your company that a skeptical, comfortable, not-looking executive will actually hear. Then we make the calls ourselves.

One search, run properly, changes the company.
