ExactSearch.AI Redefines Executive Search with AI-Powered Speed, Transparency, and Half the Cost

MIAMI—ExactSearch.AI has launched a new model for retained executive search, promising faster results, partner-led service, and fees that are half the cost of traditional firms. The company aims to modernize an industry that has remained largely unchanged for 75 years, addressing long-standing issues such as high fees, lengthy timelines, and outdated processes. ExactSearch.AI was founded by executive search veterans who identified the need for a more efficient and transparent approach to finding top leadership talent. The firm’s 17% total fee offers a low-risk, high-impact alternative to the 30–35% charges common in traditional retained search models. “We built ExactSearch.AI to cut the red tape, not the quality,” said Mike Caggiano, CEO and co-founder. “Our clients work directly with experienced partners, while our AI-powered workflow makes every step of the process faster, smarter, and more precise. Organizations are tired of paying high fees to find great leaders—and waiting months to get them.” The company automates administrative tasks such as sourcing, scheduling, and reporting, allowing its partners to focus more on evaluating and delivering top executive talent. This streamlined approach is designed to reduce the time it takes to fill leadership roles and improve the overall efficiency of the search process. ExactSearch.AI’s proprietary AI Leadership Quotient™ (AI-LQ) is a key differentiator, helping clients identify candidates who are not only skilled but also prepared to lead in an AI-enabled economy. This tool leverages artificial intelligence to assess leadership potential and future readiness, offering a data-driven approach to talent selection. The leadership team at ExactSearch.AI includes experienced professionals from top search firms, bringing a wealth of industry knowledge and expertise to the company’s operations. By combining AI-driven sourcing with partner-led execution, the firm positions itself as a next-generation player in the executive search space. ExactSearch.AI is focused on delivering exceptional executive talent with speed, precision, and transparency. The company’s innovative approach is designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s market, where organizations require agile and effective solutions to secure top leadership.
