About the Role

Kooku X is our executive search division focused on success-based placements.

The focus is on sales and development, followed by delivery, all while upholding transparent and equal-footing values with clients and candidates.

Build Kooku X as a brand and process, documenting workflows and maintaining a complete pipeline in the CRM.
Take over leads from the core business.
Forward contacts suitable for Recruiting on Demand or Interim Recruiting to the sales team.

Requirements

Proven track record of building or expanding business, including new clients, a portfolio, or a division, with concrete examples.

Possess an established network of decision-makers in a specific industry, preferably Finance, or alternatively Sales or Tech.
Communicate assertively, even when facing disagreement, and stand firm without avoidance.
Demonstrate a compelling personality that engages clients, candidates, and the team, with verifiable evidence.
Bring several years of experience in success-based searches for Director and C-level positions.
Embody transparency, ownership, equal footing, and empathy, even in commission-based business.
