We also serve a select group of high-growth technology clients and venture capital firms, uniquely positioning us for AI-driven organizations including techbio and deep tech executive search.

What is Occam Global's average time-to-hire for C-suite roles in cutting-edge fields like TechBio or AI-driven Drug Discovery?

Our specialization allows us to accelerate the process significantly. While search complexity varies, our deep network and focus on high-priority roles often result in a successful placement within 90 days of engagement.

What percentage of placements successfully remain with the client after 2 years?

We measure success by long-term retention and company growth. Our rigorous focus on cultural and strategic fit means our retention rate for placed executives is consistently over 95% after the initial two-year mark.

What geographical area is represented by your successful placements? Do you focus mainly on the US or globally?

Our success stories are geographically diverse, reflecting our global presence. We have proven success in placing executives across major innovation hubs, including the US (SF Bay Area, NYC, Boston), and Europe (London, Paris) ensuring we find the best talent for our clients whereever they are based.
