THE COMPANY:
Artico Search, Inc. is a boutique executive search firm, delivering the people to build, scale, and protect the businesses it serves. Founded in 2021, Artico's team of 19 employees (and growing!) matches the world’s best talent with venture capital, private equity-backed, and publicly-traded companies.
CONNECTED:
With decades of experience and a serious network of elite candidates, our proprietary technology plus our huge network helps us to calibrate quickly, enabling perspectives on potential candidates that other firms often overlook.
TRUSTWORTHY PARTNER:
Our position in the market as a boutique firm means every search outcome matters to us, to our brand, and to our clients. We anticipate our client’s needs, communicate transparently, and deliver what we promise, on time and exceeding expectations.
DIVERSITY:
Our expertise and commitment to providing a diverse set of candidates -- one that spans ethnicity, gender, and background -- helps our clients build an inclusive and innovative leadership team. We publish our diversity numbers transparently and they are the best in the industry. Our past two years have proven this with over 53% of our placements being underrepresented talent.
FEW OFF-LIMITS:
We have almost unlimited access to the broadest and best talent without the conflicts of multiple “off-limits” agreements that restrict the larger firms’ access to the best talent.
EXPERT:
Every Artico consultant has deep domain knowledge, relevant search experience, and significant operational expertise. We know the market, and anticipate where it's going. Our methods have been decades in the making and provide for crisp execution.
ART & SCIENCE:
Our methods combine art and science. We use proprietary search tech powered by ML and AI to analyze leader profiles and competency trade-offs while artfully engaging people who add to the culture, lift the brand, and fulfill both company and personal goals in their role.
