Leader Speak

Abhishek Anand

Founder and Managing
Partner, India

Executive search is a classic case of making choices under risk and uncertainty.  Game theory suggests that in such situations, the maximization focus should be on expected utility than expected value.

Without having a deep understanding of both risk (within the organization) and uncertainty (candidate fit),  Executive search will continue to remain an uncertain game.  XQtiv was founded on the premise that we can achieve quantum jumps in hire quality by complementing a rigorous search process with uncertainty-reducing solutions.
