InsurTech Company, Chief Digital Officer, Retained Search

Solution

Our client approached us with a need for a confidential and highly targeted executive search. Eastward Partners collaborated closely with the CEO of the Insurtech company and the PE firm to build a storyboard, go-to-market narrative, and structured approach to targeting only the top c-level candidates coming directly from their competitors. We crafted the marketing, search approach and, once approved, carefully mapped the market for individuals who fit the exact brief.

Eastward Partners managed a full retained search involving market mapping, candidate targeting and a managed approach, to interview and screen a suitable longlist and develop a shortlist for the client to interview. We were highly selective in our presentation of candidates for the client’s consideration resulting in only the top 3 candidates making it to the final round of interviews. Eastward Partners also prioritized presenting our client with a diverse candidate pool and were thrilled when the client selected a diverse candidate as their finalist. Once the final candidate was identified, Eastward Partners was heavily involved in negotiating the offer and consulting on the creation of a bespoke compensation structure for the individual.
