Elevate your team with elite talent

Why did we create Lucent Smart Search®? 

After years in executive search and working in tech companies, I witnessed the negative effects of flawed hiring - reduced sales, product delays, increased staff turnover, and delayed exits. As a client with inside knowledge of executive search, I could see search firms often relied on recycling the same pool of candidates without investing much effort in uncovering fresh talent. This led to homogeneous hiring pools and doubts that we were finding the best people. Combined with this, candidate feedback was that their experience felt transactional rather than personal. I knew there had to be a better way - a way that prioritized quality, diversity, and a personalized approach.
