What's different_

Hire for the outcome, not the title.

When you're scaling fast, you don’t just need someone who can do the job. You need someone who can own the results.

You say: "We need a CFO"

But the reality sounds more like:
"We need someone who's raised capital before — someone investors believe the second they walk into the room."
Or:
"We've hit real revenue, but there’s no operational backbone. We need someone who can build the infrastructure to scale."
Same title on LinkedIn. Completely different work in real life.
At Regista, we solve for the mission. Then we find the person who can deliver it.
The problem_

Why traditional recruiting breaks down.

You’ve probably run into some of this:
Paying for candidates who don’t work and end up costing you big time
Watching key seats stay empty for months while you miss your targets
Wasting your time on sorting through hundreds of irrelevant applicants
Hiring people who have the right skills, but hurt the culture
Dealing with recruiters who don’t understand your business model
Watching your story get flattened into "competitive salary, great team"
Scrambling to fill urgent gaps, instead of building leadership ahead of growth
Your execs get stuck in endless hiring cycles, instead of leading
Our approach_

What hiring looks like when it's designed for results.

We rebuilt search from the ground up — for companies that can’t afford to slow down.
We start every search by defining the business outcome, not just scanning resumes.
We find candidates others miss, using targeted search and AI to reach passive talent with a 50% response rate.
We build your story into the pitch. So candidates understand your business, not just comp and benefits.
We match for cultural and leadership fit, not just technical skills.
We help you plan leadership needs proactively, mapping gaps before they slow you down.
We carry the operational burden — sourcing, vetting, qualifying — so you can stay focused on building.
We deliver hire-ready candidates — fully vetted for capability — all you have to do is interview for fit.

We don't hand you options.
We hand you a leader, set up to succeed.

How it works

1 Success Blueprint 2 Candidate Insights 3 Onboarding Strategy 4 Leadership Support

Define what ‘great’ looks like to you

  • Before we even look at the market, we get clear:
  • What does success look like in 6, 12, and 18 months for this role?
  • What are the business outcomes this person will own?
  • What’s the culture match?
  • We reverse-engineer the role from the outcomes, not keywords. That becomes the North Star for the entire search — and the standard every candidate is measured against.
  • The search starts by getting clear on what success means.
  • What outcomes matter at 6, 12, and 18 months? What results will this person own, and how will they fit the culture? We design the role around those answers.
  • That becomes the North Star for the search and the standard every candidate is measured against.

Review your 5-Star Candidates

  • No resume pile to sort through. Every candidate you see is “ready-to-hire.”
  • We deliver a clear, data-rich decision report that includes:
  • ROLE-MATCH SCORE
  • Our custom algorithm scores each candidate based on how well they align with your company’s goals, team dynamics, and required skills. It pulls together insights from interviews, resumes, and online presence into one clear profile.
  • RISK INDICATORS
  • We highlight potential red flags early—like skill gaps, leadership misalignment, or execution risks—so you can make confident, informed decisions.
  • TARGETED INTERVIEW PROMPTS
  • Get smart, tailored questions to help you explore gaps, confirm strengths, and focus on what really matters to your business.
  • BEHAVIORAL LEADERSHIP SCORE
  • Our AI maps a candidate’s soft skills to your leadership style and team culture, helping you find someone who’s not just qualified—but a great long-term fit.
  • You don’t get a pile of resumes—you get people who are ready to hire.
  • Each comes with a decision report that shows how well they fit, what risks to watch for, and where to go deeper in the interview. You’ll also see how their leadership style matches your team.
  • The result is simple: faster, more confident hiring decisions.

De-risk the hire with a 90-day launch plan

  • We don’t hand you a finalist and hope it works out.
  • You’ll get a Predictive Success Roadmap that covers:
  • A clear 90-day outcome — so everyone knows what success looks like.
  • Key relationships to build early — across product, finance, and people ops.
  • Focus areas to drive early results — and spot risks before they escalate.
  • A joint coaching plan — to keep them aligned, supported, and moving fast.
  • Because even the strongest leaders need a clear runway to launch well.
  • Great hiring isn’t just picking a finalist.
  • We give you a 90-day roadmap with clear outcomes, key relationships to build, and focus areas for early wins. It also includes a joint coaching plan to keep things on track.
  • Even the best leaders do better with a clear path and strong alignment from day one.

Stay close through the critical phase

  • The first six months are the real test.
  • That’s why we stay involved through custom leadership coaching designed to:
  • Accelerate onboarding with real-time support.
  • Benefit from industry-leading detection accuracy.
  • Stay aligned with business priorities as they evolve.
  • Grow with the company instead of outgrowing the role.
  • A great hire isn’t enough. Coaching is what turns potential into performance.
  • The first six months decide whether a hire really works out.
  • We stay involved with leadership coaching that speeds up onboarding, catches risks early, and keeps priorities aligned.
  • The goal isn’t just to fill a role—it’s to turn a good hire into a lasting leader who grows with the company.

Ian's style is easy going, always positive, and provokes reflection for internal growth. The journey and end results were much better than I had anticipated at the beginning of our journey. I highly recommend working with Ian.”

FAQs_

Frequently asked questions

How is Regista different from other recruiting agencies?
Most recruiters are gone the moment a candidate signs the offer. That’s when our work starts. At Regista, we don’t just fill roles, we work backwards from your company’s exit strategy and build hiring plans that create enterprise value. We use AI to synthesize candidate resumes, transcripts, and job data so that your decisions are based on real insight. And we stay involved post-hire to ensure that person ramps fast, thrives in your culture, and stays.
Why is your fee higher than standard contingency firms?
Regista’s fee is only higher when you want more protection, like extended guarantees or accelerated timelines. Otherwise, our base rate is competitive with most retained firms. Every month a key role sits empty, you’re losing productivity, leadership bandwidth, and sometimes revenue. Our clients often recoup our fee in the first few months post-hire. And if you’re on a tighter budget, we also offer tools like our AI-powered Resume Reviewer — so you can still hire smarter and faster, without paying a full-service rate.
How do I know your candidates will actually be a long-term fit?
Most bad hires look great on paper... that’s why we go deeper. Our process combines AI scoring with live interview analysis to uncover red flags and soft skill mismatches early. Then, we back it up with extended guarantees, up to 12 months when bundled with post-hire coaching. That’s how we’ve maintained a 100% retention rate at the executive level. If we’re not confident they’ll stick, we don’t present them. Period.
What if the hire doesn’t work out?
You’re not just paying for a resume, you’re paying for the problem to be solved, and we stay with it until it is. If a hire doesn’t work out, we treat it like any serious miss: we run a full postmortem, identify the breakdown, and fix it. Our extended guarantee means we’ll re-run the search at no additional cost, and if you’ve bundled coaching, we’re often able to course-correct before it gets that far.
Can you move fast enough for our hiring timeline?
Speed matters. Most executive searches drag on for 120 days or more. With Regista, we’ve consistently closed them in 60 to 90 days — and we’ve hit that mark on 100% of our placements. Our Resume Reviewer tool helps us zero in on the right candidates faster, so you don’t waste cycles on mismatches.
Do you specialize in our industry or type of role?
We specialize in leadership and high-skill roles across tech, finance, and operations. Especially in small to mid-sized companies where every hire counts. That’s our zone of genius. But our methodology is built to be industry-agnostic. We’ve successfully filled roles in sectors ranging from software to construction to CPG. What matters most is alignment on the outcome. And if we’re not the right fit for the search, we’ll tell you up front.
Why should we pay for coaching or AI consulting in addition to recruiting?
We use coaching and AI consulting to make sure every hire succeeds. Coaching helps new leaders ramp faster, feel supported, and stay longer. AI helps your team move faster, automate busywork, and scale with fewer growing pains. We offer both because we’re committed to solving real business problems and sticking around long enough to see results.
How do you find and vet candidates?
We build a custom scoring rubric for your search, weighted by what actually matters in your role. Our AI uses that framework to evaluate every candidate across their resume, LinkedIn, and live interview transcripts. The result is a dynamic scorecard that updates throughout the process, so you always know where your top candidates stand — and why.
Can we just use our internal team or LinkedIn Recruiter instead?
If you already have a team that’s strong at interviewing and managing candidates, but you’re struggling to identify the right people at the top of the funnel, we can help with that part specifically. Many of our clients receive thousands of applications — most of them irrelevant. In under five business days, we’ll deliver a ranked top-10 candidate list, fully scored against your criteria, complete with custom interview questions and context, so your team can do what they do best without the overwhelm.

If you're serious about scaling, hire like it.
