Lean Six Search Group
For companies

For companies
who won’t settle.

Specialist supply chain headhunters across the four pillars: plan, source, make, deliver. Trusted by some of the world's leading companies to deliver on confidential senior searches at director, VP, and C-suite level.

How we work

A blank slate for
each new search.

Phase 101

Discovery call

A blank slate for each new search. No template, no recycled brief. We start by listening: what you've actually built, what the role needs to do, what would make this hire wrong.

Phase 202

Diagnosis

We diagnose the underlying issue, evaluate your needs against current market reality, and prescribe a tailored search approach within an agreed timeline. The brief gets sharper, not longer.

Phase 303

Brand immersion

A specific team is assigned to your search and goes deep on your culture, hiring committee, internal politics, and brand. So when we approach senior candidates, we're already speaking your language.

Phase 404

Market mapping

We map the full live universe of qualified senior leaders, including operators who'd never respond to an inbound LinkedIn message. Most of our shortlist comes from people no other firm has spoken to.

Phase 505

Shortlist & presentation

A tightly-organized shortlist with the context that matters: trajectory, scar tissue, current comp, what each candidate is solving for. Designed to make your hiring committee's decision faster, not noisier.

Phase 606

Onboarding & post-placement

We stay in the relationship after the offer is signed. Real 30 / 60 / 90-day check-ins with both sides. If something is off in the first quarter, we want to know before you do.

What our clients say

The proof is in
the shortlist.

Lean Six Search is consistently above the rest. Their in-depth approach to headhunting is unmatched. We use them in a lot of sensitive and confidential roles and they constantly deliver. Keep up the good work.
Global supply chain leader
Multinational consumer goods
The team at LSS has a depth of supply chain and procurement knowledge that I haven't noticed in other recruiters. We retained them on a very unique role that two other firms had failed to deliver on. Their team mapped the market, uncovered a number of candidates that were not approached by the other firms and presented them in a well-organized manner. The shortlist provided was top notch.
Chief Procurement Officer
Industrial manufacturing
I've had the tremendous pleasure of working with them and witnessing firsthand their great professionalism, their being always in touch, and their providing permanent follow-ups. Their strength: they truly put the client's interests as a first priority, making sure transitions are successful from both a personal and professional standpoint. They continue to follow up and stay in touch long after the placement.

What we search for

The levels we
actually operate at.

From appointing a new Global Head of Supply Chain to the operator running your manufacturing floor. We build the search around the role, not the other way around.
