Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between AI Executive Search and general technology recruiting?

AI Executive Search focuses on senior leadership and highly specialized technical roles within the AI function, evaluated through a retained, confidential process. General technology recruiting typically covers a broader range of technology roles at various levels through contingency or contract placement.

What does an AI Executive Search firm do?

An AI Executive Search firm identifies, evaluates, and presents qualified AI leadership candidates to a hiring organization, then manages the process through offer and close. Solomon Page runs this process on a retained basis, meaning the organization engages Solomon Page exclusively for the duration of the search. The firm combines sector-specific talent networks with structured assessment of technical depth, leadership capability, and organizational fit.

Why do organizations use a retained search firm for a Chief AI Officer hire?

Chief AI Officers and Heads of Data are becoming as important to company transformations as any role that has been seen in decades. The right candidate is often more than just what leadership and technology skills are on the resume, as this role will also drive the culture of data utilization, the adoption of new AI tools, and will likely engage with every team in the company.
