Executive Search & Strategic Talent Advisory
SecondMind is a founder-led boutique executive search and talent advisory firm. We partner with founders, CEOs and business owners to find, attract and recruit the people who make a real difference to business performance.
The Right People. The Right Structure. Sustainable Growth.
Who we are
We don't just fill vacancies. We help build the teams behind successful businesses.
We specialise in executive search, strategic recruitment and team building for growing companies and international businesses, from trusted business assistants and key specialists to senior executives and full leadership teams.
Every search starts with your business: its objectives, operational challenges, leadership needs, and the results you expect from each key hire. That lets us look past qualifications on paper to people whose capabilities, experience and approach fit where the company is heading.
Our expertise
From a single business-critical appointment to staffing an entire launch, we work across leadership, specialist and support roles.
Leadership that drives business performance
Identification and recruitment of senior executives and functional leaders.
Trusted support for business leaders
Assistants who bring structure, coordination and dependable support to founders and senior management. We assess for discretion, independence, organisational skill and business understanding.
The right talent for every stage of growth
Key specialists and whole teams, including recruitment for new business launches and operational expansion.
Clarity before hiring. Structure for growth.
Practical support to clarify hiring priorities, design roles, spot organisational gaps and set up responsibility and reporting lines before you recruit.
Selected client success stories
13 positions filled across 3 selected recruitment projects, from the CEO's chair to the founder's right hand.

Cross-industry experience
Our founder's experience goes beyond single assignments: building teams for new ventures, supporting operational launches, and strengthening organisations through periods of growth.
Our approach
Four stages, run with you from first conversation to the new hire's first weeks.
01
Your business objectives, operational challenges, organisational structure and hiring priorities.
02
The ideal candidate profile, role responsibilities, required competencies and success criteria.
03
Targeted talent search, assessment against agreed requirements, and a shortlist of relevant professionals.
04
We coordinate selection and provide agreed support through hiring and integration.
Why SecondMind
Every search begins with the business challenge behind the hiring need.
Hands-on recruitment across industries, business functions and organisational levels.
Experience working with founders, senior executives and business-critical leadership roles.
A personal approach, direct communication and focused attention on every assignment.
For business setup & corporate advisory firms
A strategic talent partner for your business clients.
Business setup and corporate advisory firms help entrepreneurs establish, structure and run their companies. But incorporation, licensing, banking and regulatory support are only part of the picture.
As businesses launch and grow, founders need the right people to run operations, support leadership and drive performance. We partner with setup firms, corporate service providers, advisory companies and entrepreneurial communities so they can offer executive search and team building without an in-house recruitment division.
Add recruitment and talent advisory to your corporate services, and support clients beyond setup as they build the teams that run their businesses.
Earn referral remuneration for successful client introductions, under agreed terms and applicable requirements.
Give clients executive search and team-building support without investing in an internal function. SecondMind runs the agreed process, from requirements to shortlist.
Support clients at every stage, from launching a company to expanding operations, and reinforce your role as their trusted business partner.
