COO Executive Search & Headhunting Services

Oakstone International has assisted Amici procurement and YLD hire COO’s. For more information on confidential search we have conducted please contact the team directly.

At Oakstone International, we specialise in identifying and engaging exceptional COO talent, including passive candidates who aren’t actively seeking new opportunities. With years of experience mapping the SaaS leadership landscape, we maintain a trusted network of operating leaders across EMEA, APAC and the US. Each search begins with a detailed understanding of your company’s structure, growth stage, and goals, allowing us to target individuals who have successfully scaled similar businesses. We never advertise roles, and we engage potential candidates directly and confidentially, building trust through meaningful conversations about alignment and opportunity. Our long-standing relationships within the SaaS community mean that even the most in-demand leaders are open to hearing from us, and every candidate we introduce has been thoroughly assessed for skills, cultural fit, and leadership capability, ensuring you meet only those capable of making a real impact from day one.

From the moment a search begins, you’ll have a clear project plan and direct access to the consultant leading your assignment. We hold regular update calls (typically weekly or bi-weekly) to review progress, discuss candidate feedback, and refine the brief if needed. You will always know exactly how much progress we have made on your search.

We see communication as a partnership, consistent, honest, and proactive. The result is a transparent, collaborative process that keeps momentum high and ensures every decision is informed and aligned.

At Oakstone, we understand that some leadership hires require complete discretion and need to include NDA’s. Our process ensures total confidentiality for both clients and candidates, from controlled outreach and anonymised briefing materials to private referencing. In short, we protect your reputation and strategic intentions while still engaging top-tier talent with precision and professionalism.
