Confidential hiring

Line up their replacement before they know they're leaving.

The moment word gets out, you lose control of how it goes. Stealthsearch runs the search under our name and keeps your details off the ad, so you find the right replacement and choose your moment. No leak. No warning. No scramble.

Built for Heads of Talent and founders running the hires they can't announce.

The most important hires are the ones you can't announce.

Replacing an executive who isn't working out. Backfilling a founder before they resign. Reshaping a team that doesn't know it yet. The moment a job ad carries your name, the person it's about finds out, and so does everyone they talk to.

Now you're managing someone who knows they're on the way out, your team is unsettled, and the decision gets made for you before you're ready. Stealthsearch keeps the search quiet until you are, so you can handle a hard thing carefully.

How it works

You run the search. We keep your name out of it.

01

It goes out under our name

Your role is posted as a Stealthsearch listing, on LinkedIn or a private page. Candidates apply to Stealthsearch, not to you, and your name is nowhere on the ad.

02

We take out what points back to you

Before anything goes live, we scan the ad and remove the details that identify you: your company name, its aliases, and your domain.

03

You see everyone. No one sees you.

Every candidate lands in one private place your team can review and score together, sealed off from the outside.

04

You choose the moment

Shortlist the replacement, keep them warm, and make your move on your timing. Not when a leak forces your hand.

What you get

Built to run the whole search, not just hide it.

A real applicant pipeline
Stages, scorecards, and shared notes, so your team compares candidates and agrees on a shortlist in one place.
Native LinkedIn posting
Reach candidates where they already are. Your role posts and collects applications right on LinkedIn.
A confidential apply page
A clean, hosted page under the Stealthsearch name for anyone who applies direct, calm enough to reassure a nervous candidate.
The wrong people, screened out
Flag the person you're replacing and their close network, so their applications never reach your shortlist.

Confidentiality

Discreet by design.


Only your team sees it

Your search is walled off from every other company on Stealthsearch. No one else can open it, or stumble across your role.


Your name comes off the ad

We strip the details that identify you before anything goes out, so secrecy isn't left to memory. We can't stop every guess, and we won't pretend to.


A partner, not a rumor mill

Running a search quietly protects your business, your team, and the person's own standing until the decision is final. That's the point, and we treat it that way.

“The best executive searches are the ones no one remembers happening. Stealthsearch is the first tool that runs one the way a private bank would.”
