Leadership & Executive Search
CXO, function-head and P&L mandates where succession, stakeholder maturity and culture carry as much weight as raw capability.
DS Corporate Services LLP is a specialist search firm built for the senior end of the market — ₹50 LPA and above in India, USD 50K and above overseas. Every profile is assessed by a panel of industry leaders before it ever reaches your desk.
A specialist firm for the specialist end of the market. We do not run a volume desk.
DS Corporate Services LLP operates exclusively in the senior and niche segment — the mandates where a wrong hire is measured in quarters, not weeks. Our focus band is ₹50 LPA and above in India and USD 50K and above for overseas roles, across functions where depth of domain matters far more than breadth of database.
What separates us is the assessment. Before a profile reaches you, it has been evaluated by a panel of leaders who have carried the same responsibility, in the same market, at the same altitude. They know what the role genuinely demands, where a CV overstates, and which strengths actually matter in the first ninety days.
Select the side that applies to you.
We start by understanding the business reason behind the role — not just the job description. Then we map the market, approach discreetly, and put every serious candidate through our expert panel before a single profile reaches you.
You interview a shortlist that has already been examined for technical depth, decision-making quality and cultural alignment. Fewer interviews, better conversations, faster closures.
At this level, the best opportunities move through trusted conversations, not job boards. Share your profile and we will hold it confidentially — and reach out when a mandate genuinely matches your calibre and your intent.
We would rather give you an honest read on where your profile sits than forward it to twenty companies. Nothing is shared with any client without your explicit approval.
Six ways we engage — all of them search-led, none of them volume.
CXO, function-head and P&L mandates where succession, stakeholder maturity and culture carry as much weight as raw capability.
Hard-to-fill technical and domain roles where the talent pool is small, passive and known — and requires a search, not a posting.
USD 50K+ roles across the Gulf, Southeast Asia, Europe and North America, with documentation, mobility and relocation guidance.
Independent evaluation of technical depth and leadership behaviour by senior practitioners, delivered to you as a written summary.
Replacement, greenfield and sensitive mandates run entirely off-market, with controlled disclosure at every stage.
Talent mapping, compensation benchmarking and structural input — often before you formally open the role.
Every mandate follows the same discipline. By the time a name reaches your interview panel, it has already survived three filters.
We calibrate the requirement with you first — scope, compensation band, non-negotiables and what success looks like in the first two quarters. Only then do we screen. Every candidate is qualified on domain relevance, intent, compensation fit and genuine availability before anything moves forward.
Output: qualified longlistThe candidate is then assessed by our expert panel — senior practitioners drawn from the same function and market as the mandate. They probe technical depth, quality of decision-making, leadership behaviour and domain judgement against your specific requirement, not a generic scorecard. This is the stage most firms skip, and the reason our shortlists convert.
Output: panel evaluation on recordYou receive a concise written dossier for each shortlisted candidate: panel findings, demonstrated strengths, areas to probe further, compensation expectation, notice position and our clear recommendation. No unfiltered CV dumps — a considered, defensible shortlist you can act on immediately.
Output: written shortlist dossierYou interview and assess against your own benchmarks — with the groundwork already done. We coordinate scheduling across geographies, capture structured feedback after each round, manage expectations on both sides, and support offer construction through to acceptance, notice navigation and joining.
Output: closed mandateOur assessment panel is composed of senior operators — function heads, technology leaders and domain specialists with long careers in the very markets they evaluate for. Their read on a candidate carries the weight of having sat in that chair.
Architecture judgement, depth versus buzzwords, delivery ownership at scale and the ability to lead technical teams through ambiguity.
Regulatory maturity, risk instinct, P&L command and the credibility to hold a room of institutional stakeholders.
Plant and network command, cost discipline, safety culture and the operational rigour that only shows up on the shop floor.
Quota credibility, channel and key-account depth, pricing sophistication and the ability to build a revenue engine rather than ride one.
We are deliberately narrow. It is what allows us to be genuinely deep.
Senior, leadership and specialist mandates across metros and industrial corridors.
Cross-border mandates with documentation, mobility and relocation guidance.
One band, one altitude, done properly. We turn down more than we take on.
An expert panel evaluates every candidate before you spend a minute interviewing.
Recommendations you can take to a board — findings on record, not gut feel.
Off-market approach, controlled disclosure, no profile moved without consent.
Cross-border mandates handled end to end, without handing you to a third party.
If the brief and the band do not match the market, you will hear it from us first.
Send us a brief and we will revert within one business day with an honest read on the mandate, the market and the timeline.
Whether you are opening a mandate or considering your next move, the first conversation is always confidential and without obligation.
