HRI for executive search firms:
portfolio-level mandate health.
A retained search firm running 8 active mandates needs visibility across all of them simultaneously. The Hiring Reliability Index™ gives search firms a single operational view — every mandate scored, sorted by risk, with recovery sequences pre-loaded.
The Portfolio Problem
Eight mandates. No unified health view.
Most retained search firms manage mandate health through recruiter judgment, weekly status calls, and client updates. There is no unified operational signal. A stall in mandate 4 is often invisible until mandate 4’s client asks why there are no candidates.
Single Recruiter Coverage
One recruiter running 4 mandates has no reliable way to compare their health relative to each other. Which one needs attention today? The HRI answers that without a status meeting.
Partner Oversight
Partners managing multiple recruiters need a portfolio view. Which mandates are healthy? Which are at risk? HRI provides that view without requiring each recruiter to produce a status report.
Client Communication
HRI scores translate into client-facing language. Instead of ‘the search is progressing,’ search firms can report ‘your mandate health score is 71 — above threshold and on track for week 12 submission.’
Client Reporting
Mandate health as a client deliverable.
Search firms that provide clients with HRI-based mandate health reporting differentiate on operational transparency. The client doesn’t just receive candidates — they receive a live signal on how their search is performing.
The most common client complaint about retained search: ‘We don’t know what’s happening.’ The HRI eliminates that complaint entirely.
Proof Points
What HRI-driven search execution produces.
These outcomes are from mandates run under Majhi OS monitoring — including searches that two other retained firms had already failed to close.
