A partner on every shortlist.
The partner who briefs you is the partner who runs the search. Always. No handing-off mid-engagement.
Three paragraphs, twenty years. Plus a few things worth pulling out.
In 2005, executive search in India was largely the preserve of two or three global brands working out of Mumbai. Boards were getting shortlists; they weren’t always getting the right ones. The names that came back were the names every retainer firm in the city had on speed-dial.
The opening was for a firm that would do the work properly: smaller team, deeper research, honest scoping, and a partner’s name on every shortlist. We started there. Two decades on, we’re still there — deliberately small, deeply networked, and structured so that the partner who briefs you is the partner who runs your search.
What changed between then and now isn’t the philosophy. It’s the leverage. The AI tooling we’ve built lets a four-person Posimind engagement work the depth that a fifteen-person engagement at a global firm would normally charge for — without compromising the parts of search that should never be compressed.
Not slogans on a wall. Operating commitments that decide which mandates we take, who staffs them, and what we send to a client.
The partner who briefs you is the partner who runs the search. Always. No handing-off mid-engagement.
Our consultants do the consulting. AI does the parts of search that used to swallow a junior team for two weeks.
We turn down engagements we don’t believe we can move the needle on. Judgement, references, the read on fit: still human.

The judgement that decides a senior hire is also the judgement that grows a consultant. We don't separate those.

Partner runs the brief. Partner runs the search. No handing-off to a junior team mid-engagement, and no anonymous researchers behind the brand — the person who scopes your mandate is the person who closes it.
