Executive Recruiting

Access the leadership talent that drives growth — backed by Proven’s always-on recruiting engine

The right executives transform potential into performance. Proven helps lower-middle market companies recruit, assess, and retain leaders who can stabilize operations and accelerate growth. Because we’re constantly recruiting fractional CFOs, COOs, and HR leaders for our own Proven team, we have access to the best executive talent — and can extend that network to you.

Why Executive Recruiting Matters

Leadership gaps are one of the biggest risks to scaling a business. Challenges include:

  • Difficulty attracting executives to entrepreneurial, scaling environments.
  • Risk of misalignment between new hires and company culture.
  • Long timelines and high costs with traditional retained search firms.
  • No built-in pipeline of leaders who understand lower-middle market dynamics.

How Proven Helps

We bring both experience and a built-in talent network to your search:

  • Targeted recruiting for C-Suite, VP, and Director-level roles.
  • Always-on talent sourcing through our fractional executive recruiting efforts at Proven.
  • Assessment for cultural and leadership fit, not just resumes.
  • Compensation and incentive design aligned with your growth goals.
  • Onboarding and integration support to ensure early impact.

What You Get

  • A living pipeline of leaders with proven experience in scaling companies.
  • Access to executives who are already vetted through Proven’s own recruiting process.
  • A recruiting experience integrated with your financial and operational strategy.
  • Ongoing HR advisory for retention and development.

Why Proven

We’re not just a recruiting firm — we’re an operator. Because we continually source top fractional talent for our own bench, we can connect you with executives who are already battle-tested, trusted, and ready to step in.
