Our Story: Connecting Executives with the Hidden Job Market

For nearly 20 years, Leaderboard served a single customer, Jackson Stevens Global (JSG), a 5-star-rated executive transition service that helps senior-level executives obtain jobs with base salaries between $250k and $750k.. the kinds of jobs that are rarely, if ever, advertised.

We provided JSG with a list of qualified, mostly unadvertised jobs sourced directly from top retained and contingent executive search firms. We produced, on average, 900 per month, which our experts determined carried base salaries between $250k and $750k. JSG customers were able to penetrate a hidden job market that was unavailable through traditional advertisements or job boards.

The challenge was the list was produced monthly. If the perfect job for their customer came in a day later, it was a month old before they could apply. JSG wanted a weekly list, but we didn't have the resources.

Then, in 2023, AI entered the scene. JSG offered a significant investment to harness AI. Their goal was twofold: achieve a weekly list and increase the number of jobs. We achieved both.

Today, using our patent-pending technology, we can source 15 times the number of jobs, and we do it daily. Today, we source from any organization seeking an executive and offering a mid-six to seven-figure salary potential. We identify more than 50,000 jobs daily, comb through those to identify the roles with the potential to carry base salaries between $250k and $750k every three hours, categorize them by our customer’s industry and discipline, and then send email alerts to our customers. Leaderboard is the only patent pending executive-level job identification system that targets and validates positions exclusively in the C-Suite, from the director level to the board.
