They assess your CEO with AI now. Your invoice hasn't noticed.
Leadership assessment for private equity on a fixed fee, run personally by a former head of executive assessment at a global consulting firm.
The hours went down. The fee did not.
The interviews are transcribed by a machine. The first draft of the report is written by a machine. The scoring model is the same one they have used for years. What took a partner three weeks now takes a few days.
The fee is exactly what it was, because you kept paying it. The difference funds the atrium, the cucumber water and the summer associate program.
There is a second invoice you do not see. When the assessment leads to a search, the same firm collects a placement fee. Ask how independent the assessment was.
One assessor. No juniors. No placement fees. Ever.
Maxwell Salazar ran executive assessment for one of the largest names in the business. At Claymore he runs every assessment himself, from the first interview to the board report. Nothing is handed down the line.
The fee is fixed and agreed before we start. We take no placement fees and we do not run searches, so the only thing we are paid for is telling you the truth about the team.
Evidence on every leader, tied to the plan you are underwriting.
One leader, or the whole team
Individual assessments of every leader who matters to the thesis. A single leader in days, a full team inside the diligence window.
Scored against your plan
Role scorecards built from the value creation plan, not a generic competency model. The question is whether they can run this deal.
One advisor, no handoffs
Maxwell Salazar runs every assessment personally. The person in the room is the person who writes the report.
Board-ready, per leader
A report on each leader an investment committee can act on, plus candid feedback to the leader and a view on succession.
