Start your own executive search desk: $1,000 a month from day 1 + 15% profit share
This is not a job. You launch and run your own business, winning the clients and delivering the work, and Arkscale Ventures backs it.
You have won clients and filled senior roles (Director, VP, C level) for someone else's search firm. Now build your own executive search desk, backed by Arkscale Ventures.

What you get

• $1,000 a month from day 1, so you have a stable income while you build.
• 15% of the profit of the business you build during the trial period, rising to 30% after it, including the team you grow.
• Your own company, brand, website, email , CRM, client terms and the whole back office, done for you.
• We fund the growth: the tools, the outreach and your first hires.

Who this is for

• You have personally won retained or contingent search clients and closed senior placements, with fees you can put numbers on.
• A niche you know well (for example iGaming, Web3, AI, fintech or healthcare) and a clear view of the first clients you would go after.
• You are doing this today for someone else and could run it yourself. You want to build your own business, full time. Not a job, not freelance work, not part time.

To apply, answer four questions:
1. Tell us where your clients come from: the clients you have won yourself over the last two or three years, the roles you filled, and the fees billed. Names can be anonymised.
2. Which niche would you build this desk in, and which first three clients would you go after?
3. Why have you not built this on your own yet, and what would let you scale it with us?
4. Your country, time zone, earliest start date, and the best email to reach you.

Applications without these four answers are not reviewed.
