Our approach isn't the traditional route, and it's not trying to be. If you want to see what executive search looks like when it's actually done differently, let Doghouse surprise you.

Most executive matches start with a relationship, not a role. Fifteen years in tech executive search means knowing people well enough that an hour-long conversation can turn into a placement, because the fit was already understood before that conversation started.

That's also why the best opportunities rarely begin as a vacancy. Sometimes nothing has been posted yet, a recruiter who knows the market and the person well enough sees the fit first, and makes the introduction anyway. That's the difference between a search firm that does everything, and one that only does this, in tech.

The roles that matter right now sit exactly where the fewest people are standing: technical enough to be trusted with the product, commercial enough to be trusted with the business. It comes down to the same question every time: what have you actually built, fixed or scaled, and where does that matter next?

• CTO, CSO, CIO, Head of Product - if you've decided what gets built.
• COO, Managing Director - if you've made a plan actually run.
• CPO, CEO - if you've decided where the business goes next.

Curious whether we could help you land one of these roles?

We're recruiters, not career coaches. We won't pretend to plan your next ten years for you. What we do is understand what you're actually looking for well enough to know exactly when something's worth a conversation. One senior recruiter stays with you from the first call onward, and when we bring you forward, it's because it actually fits, not because a role needs filling.
