Who pays Heron Talent
Retained by the employer, not by you.
Heron Talent is paid by the hiring company, often on retainer before anyone is placed. They are working one specific mandate for that company, not managing your search.
What that means for you
Being wrong for this mandate is not a verdict on you. Stay reachable for the next one, and be straight about salary and timing so you are not shortlisted for a brief you would turn down.

Where you meet
How does Heron Talent's executive search process work for candidates?
Our process begins with a deep dive into your career trajectory and aspirations. Upon identifying a potential alignment with an active search, we’ll initiate a confidential conversation to understand your motivations and suitability. If mutual interest is confirmed, we present your profile to our client, managing all communication and feedback throughout the interview stages and offer negotiation.
What can I expect when working with Heron Talent?
We prioritize transparency and maintain regular, confidential communication throughout active searches. As an executive search firm, we represent the client but strive to provide candidates with timely updates. Our process is tailored to the specific search mandate, and we aim to provide clear expectations on timelines. All fees are paid by the hiring company, never by the candidate.
Your side
How can I get Heron Talent to consider me for opportunities?
The best way to get on our radar is by having a strong, keyword-optimized LinkedIn profile that reflects your senior-level experience in our specialty sectors. Ensure your profile highlights achievements in AI, consulting, or business services leadership. While referrals are valuable, direct engagement through a relevant, open search is most effective. Consider connecting if your background closely matches our AI-native executive search focus.

Heron Talent is ideal for seasoned professionals and executives seeking senior leadership positions in AI, Consulting, and Business Services.
