Seikor

Seikor is a London-based specialist executive recruitment platform focused on senior and leadership hiring across industries where deep domain expertise is scarce and where generic executive search firms consistently underperform. The company combines a curated network of executive-level candidates with a technology-assisted platform that improves the efficiency of sourcing, assessment, and matching — delivering the quality of outcome associated with traditional boutique search at a speed and cost that makes it accessible to a broader range of organisations.

Executive recruitment is a market where poor hire quality carries enormous consequences. A senior leadership hire that turns out to be the wrong fit for a company's culture, strategic phase, or technical domain is enormously expensive — not just in direct recruitment and onboarding costs, but in the opportunity cost of a leadership gap and the disruption caused by a mid-tenure departure. Traditional executive search firms deliver quality for the most senior roles but at high cost and long lead times, while general-purpose platforms lack the sector depth needed for critical senior hires in specialised industries.

Seikor addresses this by developing deep expertise and curated candidate networks within specific industry verticals — sectors where the intersection of domain knowledge and leadership capability is particularly hard to find and where a recruiter's genuine understanding of the candidate's world builds trust on both sides of the market. This sector specificity allows Seikor to attract executive candidates who might not engage with a generalist recruiter, and to make more accurate assessments of fit for roles that require real industry insight to evaluate.

Seikor was co-founded by Abhay Mehrotra and Indira Jain, and raised £1.2 million in 2024 to further develop its specialist platform and expand its presence across its target industries. The UK entity, Seikor Group Limited, is incorporated in London.
