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.
Rutherford & Company™
Retained executive search. Premium mandates across CRE, PE, financial services, and professional services. Powered by RutherfordINTEL™ science.
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.
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.
