Executive Alliance

What Executive Alliance does

Executive Alliance (doing business as Executive Alliance Staffing Solutions) is a national executive search and staffing firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Commack, New York. The firm places permanent, temporary, contract, contract-to-hire, and project-based talent across ten industry verticals, including Collections & BPO, Life Sciences/Environmental & Climate, Architecture/Engineering/Construction, Manufacturing & Supply Chain, Restoration, Accounting & Finance, Information Technology, Legal, Sales & Marketing, and Hospitality. Its stated proposition is pairing high-experience recruiters with a proprietary candidate database approaching 200,000 professionals to deliver placements within days or weeks across a national footprint spanning New York to California.

The firm's underlying technology is a relatively conventional recruiting stack rather than an AI-driven matching engine. Core components include a proprietary candidate database built over nearly three decades, an integrated job board embedded in the company website, a LinkedIn newsletter with 20,000 subscribers supporting ~350,000 annual article views, and the Hire Authority Podcast distributed across YouTube and podcast platforms. The recruiter bench averages 20+ years of industry experience firm-wide, and each recruiter specializes in a single vertical; senior staff have joined from employers including EY, CA Technologies, L3Harris, Maxons Restorations, and IKON Office Solutions.

Revenue is generated across three streams: percentage-of-first-year-salary or flat placement fees on direct-hire engagements, hourly bill-rate markups on temporary staffing where Executive Alliance acts as Employer of Record, and project-based billing for contract or fractional engagements. Pricing models offered to clients include contingency (transaction-based), retainer (subscription/multi-year contract), and usage-based arrangements, with hybrid contract-to-hire models layering a trial period before conversion. All direct-hire placements are guaranteed. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct recruiter outreach to enterprise and mid-market employers, supplemented by inbound candidate flow generated through LinkedIn content, the Hire Authority Podcast, and PR in outlets such as CIO Magazine, Newsday, and HIA-LI Reporter. Leadership transitioned in 2025 with Daria Teller named President.
