FAQ

Orientation on Search from Bolt

How do you differentiate from large executive search firms?

We offer a bespoke, hands-on approach. We’re intentionally selective, working only on high-impact searches where we can provide deep value. Unlike volume-driven firms, we prioritise quality, discretion, and strategic alignment over filling roles quickly.

What types of roles do you specialise in?

We focus on board-level and senior leadership positions, including CEOs, CFOs, COOs, Commercial Leaders, and key strategic hires for education, training, and edtech organisations.

What’s your typical search process?

Our process includes deep market mapping, discreet outreach, competency-based assessments, and detailed due diligence. We work closely with stakeholders to define strategic goals before presenting a carefully curated shortlist.

How long does an executive search take?

Typical searches take 4-12 weeks, though timing varies depending on complexity and market conditions. Our focus is on finding the right leader, not the quickest placement.
