TEAMPLUS

What TEAMPLUS does

TEAMPLUS (Team Plus, Inc.) is a US-based retained executive search firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in Santa Monica, California. The firm specializes in placing C-suite and VP-level executives (CEO, CTO, CMO, COO, CFO, CISO, Vice President, Executive Director) across multiple departments and industries including Telecommunications, Public Sector, Startups, Fintech, Biochemistry, Software Development, Entertainment, and Manufacturing. Its client base spans enterprise organizations and growth-stage startups, with publicly named customers including EA Consulting, Apogee Information Systems, and ExpertDOJO.

The company's core technology is the TEAMPLUS Talent Matching System, which combines a proprietary Applicant Tracking System (ATS) with a 'smart database' and a soft skills matching algorithm that ranks candidates against corporate cultural fit. The platform supports detailed candidate notes, long-term follow-ups, and a curated talent pool of current and future executive leaders. A LinkedIn plugin enables candidates to import profile data, and a related sub-brand platform, Jobeleno, allows candidates to create and reuse profiles across companies using the Team+ system. The 'soft skills' positioning is the primary technology differentiator, though the underlying algorithm is described qualitatively rather than as a named ML model.

TEAMPLUS operates on a retained executive search revenue model, charging retainer fees for dedicated, continuous search engagements rather than contingency placements. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with all client engagement initiated through 'Schedule a Call' or 'Schedule a Demo' CTAs routed via Calendly. Demand generation relies on content marketing through the company blog, organic SEO, and direct outreach, with no paid advertising, resellers, or self-serve channels. The headcount is small (1-10 employees), the company is privately held and bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding, and ownership structure is not detailed in available materials.

Broad incumbents

• Korn Ferry: Global organizational consulting firm and one of the largest executive search providers, offering retained C-suite and board-level search alongside a broad portfolio of talent management and consulting services. Directly comparable to TEAMPLUS as a retained executive search competitor with far greater scale and brand recognition.
• LinkedIn (Talent Solutions / Recruiter): LinkedIn's talent and recruiting products serve as the dominant professional network and sourcing channel used by virtually all executive search firms, including TEAMPLUS (which has a LinkedIn plugin integration). Not a direct search firm but an enabling platform whose products shape how executive search is conducted.

Emerging players

• Hunt Club: Tech-enabled executive search and talent platform that combines curated expert networks with proprietary technology to deliver senior placements for growth-stage and enterprise clients. Comparable to TEAMPLUS in its tech-enabled approach to retained executive search and similar target customer segments.

Direct peers

• Egon Zehnder: Privately-held global executive search and leadership advisory firm focused on board, CEO, and senior executive placements. Directly comparable in retained search delivery, candidate caliber, and enterprise client focus.

• Heidrick & Struggles: Global leadership advisory and executive search firm with retained search practices across functions and industries. Directly competes with TEAMPLUS for senior executive mandates and shares the same retained-engagement business model.
• Riviera Partners: Tech-focused executive search firm specializing in placements for high-growth technology companies, including CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and other senior product/technology leaders. Comparable to TEAMPLUS's technology executive placements (e.g., the Apogee Information Systems testimonial) and overlapping candidate pool.
• Russell Reynolds Associates: Global executive search firm specializing in C-suite, board, and senior leadership placements across industries. Directly comparable to TEAMPLUS on target roles (CEO, CTO, CFO, etc.) and on retained search delivery model.

Others

• Jobvite: Applicant tracking system and recruiting technology vendor serving corporate talent acquisition teams. Comparable to TEAMPLUS as an ATS-adjacent technology provider in the executive and professional recruiting market, though positioned to in-house corporate recruiters rather than external search firms.
