The challenge
A late-stage AI SaaS company preparing to raise a $400M Series D needed to complete its executive bench — CFO, CRO, VP Engineering, VP Product and a slate of GMs — under strict confidentiality and inside two board cycles.
What Qbotik did
A senior Executive Search partner led a confidential mandate with a bespoke research team, mapped the global operator market for AI-native leadership, and ran parallel processes for six roles simultaneously. Every finalist went through a structured leadership assessment and back-channel referencing.
"Their AI-augmented sourcing gave us calibrated shortlists in hours. It's genuinely a different tier of vendor."
