A data-driven commitment to finding next-generation talent

Fueled by innovation and rapid growth, today’s global technology companies wield incredible influence. Leaders in the sector continue to set the pace for business and define the future. Amid high expectations and ever-increasing scrutiny, senior technology talent requires a balance of creativity, agility, resiliency, and stamina.

Heidrick & Struggles has placed thousands of candidates: from technology executives at some of the world’s best-known companies to emerging leaders at later-stage start-ups. Our broad experience across industry and functional practices, combined with our unrivaled relationships, provides a unique vantage point for finding and developing transformational talent. And our consultative services assist clients with everything from next-generation leadership planning to successfully solving issues around diversity and inclusion.


Be a talent magnet
Clients are focused on someone who can prove they’ve actually done something with data. They may not have owned data, but they have figured out a way to use data in a strategic way. Data is almost always in the description of priorities.”
