Leadership Intelligence & AI-Enabled Executive Search

At Level 5, AI is the engine — organizational and behavioral intellect is the IQ. Together, they enable outcomes executive search could never deliver. With 24 years in executive search and leadership advisory, we are now outpacing legacy firms because we innovate faster and respond to market conditions in real time. Only with the advent of AI has it become possible to deliver what organizations have always needed but could never access: continuous leadership visibility, data management, superior talent alignment, and measurable value creation.

Built on decades of search expertise, we combine organizational DNA mapping with AI-driven leadership intelligence (powered by TalentGenius) to replace the slow, reactive, vacancy-based model used by legacy firms. While traditional search relies on closed networks and episodic engagements — a model increasingly constrained by cost pressure and speed — Level 5 delivers continuous access to leadership talent, surfacing culturally aligned executives long before a vacancy emerges.

We ensure leadership intellect not only meets, but exceeds expectations by applying a consulting-first approach that identifies a client’s cultural DNA and embeds those attributes into our AI behavioral scoring—forming a multi-layer assessment framework we call Always-On-Hiring™.

Instead of restarting the search every time, we maintain a living pipeline of pre-vetted, culturally aligned leaders, providing organizations with permanent leadership intelligence, faster cycle times, and materially lower costs per hire. Our model enables companies to build leadership capacity — not just fill roles.

Where legacy firms struggle to adapt to the speed, labor dynamics, and economics of today, Level 5 elevates the outcome by delivering superior leadership talent and the system to sustain it — integrating client and candidate data, speed, and ongoing visibility into the market.

This intersection of data, consulting, and continuous leadership access was not possible until the advent of AI.

Client Reviews

"I had the distinct pleasure of engaging with Tom while I was with Cognizant, serving as the Global VP, Digital Transformation. In my capacity as a member of the Digital Business Executive leadership team, I was quite satisfied with my position with no reason for a career change until I met Tom. His presentation layer and approach, coupled with the visionary aspect of the new opportunity, was exceptional. Tom was able to articulate Accenture's vision and merge those into personal goals and aspirations. He maintained reliable communication throughout the process, and I can happily say this was the best decision for myself and my family."

Theodore Forbath Managing Director, Accenture

We contacted Level 5 Partners again to help us in the selection of our new President. We knew they had services that would help us make the best decision for our not-for-profit. We asked them to help us assess our candidates objectively on the leader qualities needed for now and the future.  Their assessment program started with a deep understanding of what Rainbows needed. Their expert consultants analyzed the self-reported personality data and helped us understand which candidates were most aligned with our direction.  They also provided interview support. The interview question bank and interview guides customized to each interview team helped us understand each candidate’s strengths, abilities, and their gaps for our role.  Level 5’s analysis and support made a difference in our decision-making. The process and information helped us uncover gaps and opportunities we might not have otherwise. Ultimately, we feel confident in what turned out to be a tough decision.

What We Do

Modern Client Meets Data Driven Hiring

One cannot truly identify leadership from a check-the-box interview, and no two executives are the same. At Level 5 Partners, we are transforming your search to a consultative approach. With over two decades of executive search expertise, the founder recognized that traditional firms, social media, and tools similar to LinkedIn were delivering a commoditized service that constantly fell short of taking your next executive from good to great.

This complacency opened the door to a new generation of progressive firms putting Level 5 partners at the forefront of innovation with expertly refined consulting-oriented services. Today, we are a leading executive search company offering PhD-led integration services, more profound candidate assessments, and in-depth investigative research. Take control of your future with Level 5.
