WHAT WE DO
Plenty of firms can send resumes. You need decisions that hold.
Executive search, talent research, sourcing pods, RPO, competitive intelligence - every service runs on the same selection science.
THE RECOGNITION
The last firm sent volume. The one before sent culture fits. The roles are open again, and you’re reading this. The firms weren’t lazy - they were testing the wrong thing.
THE AUTHORITY
Qualigence has run selection-science-based search and research since 1999. The model was built around the decision - what a candidate has done under pressure, tested against a definition of winning your team wrote down before the search opened. Every service we run passes through that engine. One standard. Every door.
Research heritage since 1999 · 60%+ of the Fortune 500 have used Qualigence · 85% retention on placed candidates over 24 months
THE SCIENCE
Why selection - the science under every service.
Most firms compete on access - who they know. We compete on evidence - what a candidate has actually done under pressure, tested against a definition of winning your team wrote down before the search opened. That is the 6-Step Performance Engine™: define winning, test identity and behavior against it, protect the standard through feedback and the decision.
It’s why 85% of our placed candidates are still performing at 24 months, and why 60%+ of the Fortune 500 have used Qualigence since 1999.
THE PLAN
Book a strategy call - bring the role, the market, or the problem.
We run it through the engine - research first, evidence over opinion, a standard that holds.
You get performance - not activity reports. A hire still delivering at 24 months.
WHAT WE DO
A search firm with a science.
Everything we run - retained executive search, talent research, sourcing pods, RPO, competitive intelligence - runs through the same engine. Pick the door that matches your problem.
QUESTIONS
Is Qualigence a staffing firm or an executive search firm?
Qualigence International is an executive search and recruiting firm - we run retained executive search, talent research, sourcing pods, RPO, and competitive intelligence. The staffing function (Qualigence Staffing) operates as a separate company under the same family. If you need temporary or contract placements, see qualigencestaffing.com. If you need a hire that has to hold, you are in the right place.
What services does Qualigence offer?
Executive search for C-suite and functional leaders. Talent research and market intelligence - market maps, availability reads, competitor intelligence. Sourcing pods for TA teams that need top-of-funnel support. RPO for organizations that want to run hiring under a selection standard. Competitive intelligence for boards, CHROs, and leadership teams. Every service runs on the same engine.
What is selection science?
Selection science is the discipline of making hiring decisions based on evidence rather than opinion. At Qualigence, it means every search begins with a written definition of winning - what the hire must produce at 90 days, 6 months, and 12 months. Every finalist is evaluated against that definition. Every decision is a confirmation of evidence gathered, not a room-temperature read on chemistry.
Do you work on contingency or retained?
Both, depending on the engagement. Executive search runs retained - the research and decision work requires full commitment. Sourcing pods and RPO are subscription or project-based. We scope every engagement before we start, and we tell you which model fits the problem you are trying to solve.
The firm that finds the most candidates and the firm that fixes the decision are rarely the same firm.
