Candidate Services
Executive career strategy, representation and market positioning for senior leaders.
Your next career move deserves more than a job search.
Kylie Hammond works confidentially with CEOs, C-suite executives, senior leaders and board directors to navigate career moves, strengthen market positioning, access executive and board opportunities and build careers with greater choice, influence and longevity.
From executive career mentoring and Talent Agent representation to Board Portfolio® strategy, personal branding and interview preparation, Candidate Services are designed around one objective: positioning you for the opportunities that matter.
At senior executive level, the best career opportunities are not always found through advertisements.
Career moves are created through positioning, relationships, reputation, executive search, direct approaches, referrals and conversations that often begin long before a formal vacancy reaches the market.
Kylie Hammond brings together executive search experience, career strategy, board expertise and professional representation to help senior executives navigate this market deliberately.
You may be looking for your next role. We are interested in helping you build what comes after that as well.
Manage your executive career with the same strategic discipline organisations use to appoint their senior talent.
Choose the pathway that matches where you are now — or start with a confidential career assessment and we will help you decide.

When Kylie Hammond approaches a candidate regarding an executive or board appointment, the process is confidential, considered and transparent. Before any candidacy progresses, the conversation explores:
Confidentiality matters
Candidate details are never presented to a client without the candidate’s knowledge and consent.
Career & Board Portfolio®
Senior executives increasingly consider a mix of leadership and portfolio opportunities. The most durable careers are rarely built on a single title.
Kylie works with executives to determine which opportunities make strategic sense, how they should be positioned, and how the different elements can become a coherent Career & Board Portfolio®.

Executive Search | Career Mentor | Talent Agent | Board Advisor
For more than two decades, Kylie Hammond has worked across executive search, human capital, executive career strategy and board appointments.
Her perspective is unusual because she works on both sides of the executive market: advising organisations making critical leadership appointments and working privately with senior executives navigating what comes next.
Career advice is therefore informed not only by coaching methodology, but by direct knowledge of how CEOs, Chairs, boards, HR Directors and executive search practitioners assess senior talent.
We understand the executive market from both sides of the table.
Some of the most valuable career work happens while things are going well. Many of the executives who work with Kylie are employed, successful and thinking ahead — not in crisis.
Before the market evaluates experience, it evaluates how effectively that experience has been communicated.
Three curated perspectives on how senior careers actually move — drawn from Kylie’s executive-side work.
Kylie Hammond Executive Search & Coaching Group regularly engages with senior executives regarding confidential executive, leadership and board appointments.
Executives are invited to provide their professional details for consideration for appropriate future mandates. Registration does not guarantee an approach or appointment; it enables the practice to understand the executive’s background and consider their profile where there is genuine alignment.
Candidate Services cover executive career mentoring, Talent Agent representation, Career & Board Portfolio® strategy, personal branding and career documents, executive and board interview preparation, and executive career transition and outplacement. The page is the gateway; each pathway has its own dedicated service experience.
No. Many executives begin mentoring, branding or Talent Agent work while they are still successful in their current role. Managing your career deliberately before you need to move often creates better options later.
A Talent Agent provides confidential, proactive representation for a senior executive. Rather than waiting for advertisements, the work focuses on career strategy, market positioning, opportunity identification, introductions, representation and negotiation — with the executive’s interests at the centre.
Yes. A significant share of senior appointments are shaped through relationships, executive search, referrals and direct approaches. Talent Agent Services, mentoring and registration for future mandates are designed around that reality — without promising any specific vacancy or outcome.
Yes. Career & Board Portfolio® work helps executives determine which Non-Executive Director, advisory, committee, consulting or portfolio opportunities make strategic sense, and how to position for them over time.
Yes. Personal Branding & Career Documents includes executive and board résumés, LinkedIn profiles, corporate biographies, career portfolios and related positioning materials for the executive and board market.
Yes. Private preparation is available for CEO, C-suite, executive and board interviews, including executive presence, panel interviews, presentations, virtual interviews, board conversations and 90-day plans. Related interview coaching is also available where a live process is underway.
Yes. Executive Career Transition & Outplacement provides high-touch, discreet support for executives navigating redundancy, organisational change or an unexpected transition — including positioning, market engagement and interviews.
Confidentiality is fundamental. Candidate details are never presented to a client without the candidate’s knowledge and consent. Private mentoring and Talent Agent engagements are handled with the same discretion.
You can register your executive profile via the enquiry form so the practice can understand your background and consider alignment with future mandates. Registration does not guarantee an approach or appointment.
Executive Career Mentoring is one-to-one strategic advice for decision-making, positioning and career navigation. Talent Agent Services add proactive market representation — introductions, opportunity identification and advocacy — for executives who want someone actively in their corner.
A Career & Board Portfolio® is a deliberate mix of executive leadership, Non-Executive Director appointments, advisory roles, consulting engagements and related opportunities, structured so the whole career is coherent — not a collection of disconnected titles.
