California Recruitment

Executive Search and Headhunting in California

At Recruit Mogul, we deliver tailored executive search and headhunting services to businesses across California—from San Francisco and Los Angeles to San Diego, Sacramento, and Silicon Valley. Whether you’re scaling a tech startup, managing a healthcare network, or running an enterprise manufacturing operation, we help you identify, attract, and hire the professionals who will move your business forward.

California’s economy is among the largest in the world, driven by technology, healthcare, entertainment, manufacturing, logistics, finance, and agriculture. With such high demand for top-tier talent, competition is fierce—and the most capable leaders aren’t applying to job ads. That’s where we come in.

Why Executive Search Is Critical in California

In a competitive hiring market like California, the best candidates are often already in senior roles and not actively looking. Our executive search services are designed to target and engage this passive talent through discreet, research-backed outreach. We help businesses hire for high-level positions including:

  • Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
  • Chief Operating Officer (COO)
  • Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
  • Chief Information Officer (CIO)
  • Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)
  • Vice President of Engineering
  • Director of Product
  • Director of Operations
  • Plant Manager

Each search is personalized to your business’s size, culture, industry, and long-term goals.

Specialized Headhunting for Key Roles

Beyond the C-suite, we offer headhunting services for highly specialized, high-impact roles. These are often difficult to fill using traditional recruitment and require a proactive, data-driven approach to candidate sourcing. We routinely place candidates in roles such as:

  • Software Engineers (Full Stack, Front-End, Back-End)
  • DevOps and Cloud Architects
  • Product Managers
  • Data Scientists
  • Financial Controllers
  • Manufacturing Engineers
  • Construction Project Managers
  • Healthcare Administrators
  • Compliance Officers
  • Logistics and Supply Chain Directors

We source candidates who not only meet technical requirements, but who align with your company’s pace, structure, and mission.

Transparent Placement Fee and Guarantee

Recruit Mogul operates on a success-based fee model, ensuring you only pay when we deliver the right hire. Our placement fee is 18% of the candidate’s first-year annual salary, with no upfront payments or retainers required.

For additional peace of mind, we offer a 3-month replacement guarantee. If your hire resigns or fails to meet expectations within the first 90 days, we’ll conduct a replacement search at no extra charge. This guarantee reflects our commitment to quality, precision, and your long-term hiring success.
