We’re reinventing full-time executive search.
Built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs, Bolster combines the power of experienced recruiters with our intelligent sourcing platform.
The Bolster Difference
When you work with Bolster, you can expect the best of both worlds. Our recruiters have decades of experience at established firms, and they specialize in hiring executives across functions. We combine their expertise with our unique, AI-driven platform to surface the best candidates and deliver a superior executive search experience.
We put in the time to understand your needs.
We offer guidance to help you identify the specific skills and experiences you need from your next executive. Understanding your exact needs is critical in defining the criteria we’ll use to match you with candidates.
We make the recruiting process collaborative.
Our state-of-the-art collaborative workflow platform makes it easy for all stakeholders—including your board and VCs—to communicate, review candidates, and stay up-to-date on your search.
We expand
your pipeline.
We’ll deliver a broad slate of diverse, qualified candidates. Our recruiters source from our network—20,000+ senior executives interested in opportunities—and our proprietary search platform, which combs through an additional 5.5 million executive profiles.
We communicate.
Often.
Whether you want to hop on a call to discuss a candidate or are communicating with one of our recruiters in the platform, we’re flexible and quick to respond.
We’re with you until you find the right candidate.
Whether you meet the ideal executive in your first conversation, or you need to talk to multiple candidates to find the right fit, we’re with you until you discover the perfect match.
We save you
time and money.
We combine the power of experienced recruiters with our intelligent sourcing platform to find exactly what you’re looking for in half the time and at a fraction of the cost of traditional executive search.
