Our Services

From executive search to leadership and organizational consulting — an integrated suite of services built on the belief that recruitment is not the finish line, but the starting point.

Recruitment Services

How we search

Retained, exclusive or contingent — plus advisory and career support tailored to how you hire.

Retained Search

Ideal for high-level executive positions or roles critical to your business. Makana Partners becomes a dedicated extension of your recruitment team, investing significant resources into a thorough, proactive search that guarantees access to the most talented professionals in the market — delivering a shortlist that meets your exact requirements and long-term vision.

Exclusive Search

Crafted to deliver unparalleled, dedicated recruitment for the key positions most critical to your success. Partnering exclusively with us gives you our full network, industry expertise and a customized search approach, so we identify candidates who are not only highly qualified but the perfect match for your culture and strategic objectives.

Contingent Search

A flexible, risk-free model where you only pay upon the successful placement of a candidate — ideal for roles that must be filled quickly or for performance-based partnerships. Even so, we maintain the highest standards throughout the search, leveraging our network and expertise to deliver highly qualified candidates.

Career Consultation

Personalized guidance for professionals at every stage of their careers. Whether you’re navigating a career transition, enhancing your skills, or seeking market insight, our one-on-one sessions focus on your goals — from refining your CV and interview preparation to strategically planning your advancement.

Recruitment Strategy Advisory

We align recruitment with your business goals: building a strong Employer Value Proposition (EVP) for consistent messaging, implementing sourcing strategies that reach active and passive candidates, applying bias-free assessment, re-engineering process for efficiency, and training hiring managers for smooth, long-term success in talent acquisition.

Leadership Consulting Services

Beyond the hire

Recruitment is the starting point. We partner with clients to ensure the right leaders don’t just join the organization, but thrive, grow and make a lasting impact — building organizations that inspire, evolve and endure.

Leadership Assessment & Feedback

A comprehensive assessment of each candidate’s leadership style, strengths and development areas, followed by feedback sessions with both candidate and client. It deepens self-awareness and enhances hiring precision, complementing executive search with measurable value.

Onboarding & Integration Support

Helping newly appointed executives adapt quickly and make an impact in their first months. Through pre-start alignment sessions and regular coaching over the first 3–6 months, we help leaders build trust with their teams and align with organizational culture.

Executive Coaching

Personalized one-on-one coaching for executives and senior leaders to strengthen decision-making, influence and clarity of vision. Each program is tailored to the individual’s leadership goals and business challenges to maximize impact and sustain performance.

Leadership Team Effectiveness

Helping executive teams enhance collaboration, trust and alignment. Based on team diagnostics, we design workshops that facilitate open dialogue, improve decision-making and accelerate performance — especially valuable during transitions or organizational change.

Succession Planning Support

A structured approach to talent review and development planning that identifies and develops the next generation of leaders. By clarifying future leadership requirements and creating targeted development paths, we strengthen your leadership pipeline and long-term stability.

Culture Fit & Organizational Diagnostics

Analyzing the alignment between leadership styles and organizational culture to improve hiring precision and integration. Combining culture assessments with leadership diagnostics helps prevent post-hire mismatches and supports culture-driven talent strategies.

Independent Director Solutions

Drawing on our strong network of independent-director candidates, we help organizations understand the strategic value of external board members. Through readiness consulting, leadership profiling and curated matching, we bridge candidate supply and company demand while promoting governance excellence and diversity.
