Managing Director, Apex Executive Search

The Challenge

Apex specializes in C-level and VP-level placements where every detail matters. Their previous workflow relied on formatted PDF candidate packs sent via email, which led to version confusion, lost feedback, and an average client response time of 5.2 days. For senior hires commanding six-figure salaries, every day of delay cost their clients real productivity.

The Solution

Placr’s Client Portal transformed how Apex presents candidates to hiring committees. AI-generated executive summaries highlight leadership experience, cultural fit indicators, and compensation benchmarks. Multiple stakeholders review the same shortlist simultaneously, with a consensus view that shows alignment and areas for discussion. The branded portal matches Apex’s premium positioning.
