Section 1
ONE ECOSYSTEM. THREE INTEGRATED PILLARS.
Most talent firms do one thing. Rutherford International does three — and the three are designed to reinforce each other. Executive search that draws on talent science. A membership ecosystem where qualified professionals gain incognito market access. An assessment platform that replaces guesswork with behavioural data.

Section 2
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SYSTEM
RutherfordINTEL™ maps personality across 72 dimensions, producing 12 distinct BehaviourDNA™ profiles. No two profiles are identical. Behavioural compatibility between a professional and their role environment is the single most reliable predictor of sustained performance — more reliable than credentials, experience, or interview performance alone.
FOR ORGANISATIONS
Boards, CEOs, and CHROs engage Rutherford & Company™ for retained mandates where the cost of a mis-hire is measured in years. The RutherfordINTEL™ platform extends that rigour to succession planning, leadership audits, and high-volume screening.
  • Retained executive search with BehaviourDNA™ candidate profiling
  • Leadership Heatmap™ — team-level behavioural audit for boards and C-suite
  • Corporate Board Audit — director readiness and succession gap analysis
  • Screening & Hiring Assessment™ — reduce mis-hire risk at every level
