Good isn't good enough.
With accelerating innovation & increasing competition, good is no longer good enough.
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 misaligned talent? Are you sacrificing quality for expedience?
There is another way.
For over 20 years, we’ve worked with clients to turn hiring constraints into opportunities to be creative, applying judgement, context and disciplined assessment to decisions that are often more complex than they first appear.
The objective is not simply to fill roles, but to identify individuals who can operate effectively within a specific environment and contribute meaningfully over time.
Done well, those appointments create disproportionate and compounding business impact.
Founded in 2003, Leapfrog Search serves the consulting and technology space across Australia, New Zealand and 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 have served many of these for over a decade, partnering with leadership and 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 leaders who 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, across multiple roles.
We have seen the effect of this consistently over time.

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.
