Good isn't good enough.
With accelerating innovation & increasing competition, good is no longer good enough. If talent is your most important asset, you need great.
So, what are you doing about it?
Are you hiring middle-of-the-road performers, or people that are culturally corrosive? Are you overpaying for talent? Are you sacrificing quality for expedience?
There is another way.
For over 20 years we’ve turned constraints into opportunities to be creative, guiding our clients to appoint remarkable people that drive outsized business impact.
Founded in 2003, Leapfrog Search serves the consulting & technology space in Australia, New Zealand & Asia.
We are a low-volume, high-conviction executive search firm.
Our clients range from local start-ups to global top ten market cap companies. We've served many of these for over a decade, partnering with leadership & internal talent acquisition teams on crucial and hard-to-fill roles.
We work on executive, leadership and individual contributor roles that are designed to impact both our clients' business - and that of their own clients.
We partner with bold leaders that are invested in judicious hiring.
The quality of our work is measured by the value our appointees create over several years, and - in many cases - several roles.
Steve Jobs said it better than we can:
"A small team of A+ players can run circles around a giant team of B and C players”
Expertise
Deep insight into the consulting & tech space, and hard-earned expertise in screening top talent.
Ingenuity
Gaining advantage often requires taking an unorthodox or even contrarian approach.
Context
Don't accept face-value. Performance can't be assessed without first understanding context.
Rigour
Listen intently. Ask incisive questions. Cross-reference & verify. The devil is in the detail.
Teamwork
Respectfully challenge & be challenged; exploit collective expertise to get the best outcome.
Impact
Great hires raise the bar & inspire others around them. They change the trajectory of their business.
No person or business is perfect. Eliminate surprises. Quantify gaps. Stress-test concerns.
Durability
Finding the best possible (rather than first passable) candidate is effortful. Leave no stone unturned.
Tenacity
Diversity isn't a marketing gimmick. It's a weapon against group-think & complacency.
