Bespoke Partners, the largest retained executive search and leadership advisory firm for software companies, has introduced the Bespoke Executive Index, the first-ever AI-driven talent market mapping platform for software and SaaS executives.
The Bespoke Executive Index revolutionizes executive search by providing a comprehensive, data-validated view of senior software and SaaS leadership talent across the United States, offering unmatched accuracy and visibility.
Revolutionizing Executive Search with the Bespoke Executive Index
Bespoke CEO Eric Walczykowski describes the platform as a game-changer for executive search:
“The Bespoke Executive Index is the authoritative source of data on the full software and SaaS executive market. Conducting a search without it means accessing only a fraction of the available talent.”
Unlike platforms like LinkedIn, which rely on self-reported profiles, the Executive Index leverages AI and hundreds of data sources to map, validate, and ensure accuracy in executive backgrounds.
