Modular Executive Search for Development Organisations
Flexible support, tailored to what you need. From market mapping and candidate screening to assessments and reference checks, SRI Executive plugs into any stage of your hiring process—so you can move forward with confidence and rigour.
Not every leadership hire needs an end-to-end search. Sometimes, you just need expert support at a critical step.
Many teams run strong in-house processes yet want a trusted partner for market insight, objective screening, panel facilitation, psychometrics or rigorous reference checks.
How does modular search work?
SRI gives you targeted, on-demand support at any step of your recruitment. Keep what works in-house. Bring us in to fill the gaps, whether that’s a clear view of the market, objective assessments, or deeper candidate insight.
- You choose the modules you need.
- We bring sector-leading networks, inclusive processes, and evidence-led evaluation.
- Together, we deliver a fair, efficient, and high-impact search.
Trusted by 300+ development organisations in 70+ countries, for nearly three decades, our search process supports you from your initial enquiry to a successful placement.
“We really enjoyed working with SRI for this recruitment and found the screening process very thorough and comprehensive. This is a complex, niche role to fill, and it was incredibly valuable having a recruiting team with experience.”
