Alpha is hiring.

Exceptional leaders rarely announce that they're ready for their next opportunity. They're busy building businesses, transforming organizations, and achieving things others thought impossible. Finding them takes more than a Linked In search, and convincing them to make a career-defining move takes exceptional research, judgment, credibility, and influence.

That's where you come in.

At Alpha, you'll have the freedom to uncover extraordinary leaders, intellectuals, and technical talent who could help revolutionize K–12 education. You'll shape sophisticated search strategies, cultivate influential networks, and work directly with senior leadership to make some of our most consequential hiring decisions.

You’ll operate with substantial autonomy in an AI-driven workplace, supported by a collaborative global community that values independent thinking, innovation, and exceptional results. Technology will accelerate your research and remove unnecessary friction, freeing you to focus on what matters most: human connection, sound judgment, and securing extraordinary talent.

This isn't about filling vacancies or collecting placement fees. It's about building relationships that change careers, bringing exceptional people into a mission you believe in, and seeing the lasting difference they make.

If you've mastered the art of executive search and want to do some of the most meaningful work of your career, we'd love to hear from you.

• Develop targeted executive search strategies, mapping relevant organizations, researching exceptional leaders and specialists, and ranking prospects against role requirements using evidence of measurable achievement.
• Build influential professional networks and engage passive executive talent through trusted referrals, personalized outreach, and meaningful career conversations that cultivate lasting relationships and genuine interest in Alpha.
• Assess executive candidates through structured evaluations, verified achievements, and reference insights, partnering with senior leadership to calibrate talent, challenge assumptions, and inform critical hiring decisions.
• Deliver a white-glove candidate experience, managing complex executive relationships, addressing concerns, navigating competing opportunities, and negotiating successful appointments.
• Use AI-powered tools daily to accelerate talent discovery, market research, candidate intelligence, and personalized engagement, independently validating outputs and maintaining confidentiality and sound judgment.

• Managing high-volume applicant pipelines or relying on ready-made candidate databases. Your focus will be identifying and engaging exceptional, hard-to-reach talent who may never actively apply.
• Running mass outreach campaigns, sending generic InMails, or chasing activity quotas. We value thoughtful engagement, meaningful relationships, and exceptional hiring outcomes over volume.
• Spending most of your time on scheduling, database maintenance, reporting, or administrative coordination. You'll partner with Pipeline Managers and Talent Operations so you can concentrate on the work where your expertise adds the greatest value.
• Juggling unrelated client mandates or treating an accepted offer as the finish line. You'll be invested in Alpha's long-term success and the lasting contributions of the people you recruit.
• Simply taking instructions from hiring managers or accepting conventional assumptions about talent. We expect you to bring informed perspectives, challenge thinking when warranted, and influence decisions that lead to stronger hires.
