About Us

Launching a new assignment usually means hours of manual work before sourcing can even begin.

You need to understand the role, define the search perimeter, identify target companies, build LinkedIn searches, find benchmark profiles, prepare client talking points, and anticipate where the search may become difficult.

Kiwano Lab helps executive search firms turn a new client brief into a structured search map in minutes.

No ATS or data migration required

Prepare the first 48 hours of a search in minutes

Kiwano Lab generates the core intelligence you need to launch the search. Use it before the kickoff meeting, before briefing a researcher, or let it help you find new angles when you're stuck.

What Kiwano Lab generates
for each assignment

1
Target companies
Generate relevant target company lists by sector, geography, ownership, size, turnover, headcount and adjacent markets. Save them to the project and refine them as the search evolves.
2
Benchmark profiles
Discover 10 to 20 benchmark profiles from publicly available sources to help calibrate the search.
3
Market insights
Understand the client market, ownership landscape, adjacent sectors, recent acquisitions, plant closures, restructurings and other events that may create talent pools.
4
Salary benchmark
Estimate a realistic compensation range based on role, sector, geography, seniority, company size and available market data.
5
Boolean queries
Generate complex Boolean strings for LinkedIn and Google, ready to copy and paste. Add or remove titles, keywords, exclusions and locations as the search evolves.
6
Search strategy
Identify bottlenecks early, prioritize target pools, challenge unrealistic criteria and anticipate the next steps of the search.

Testimonials

What clients say

We are a trusted partner of search firms across Europe. Here's how headhunters use Kiwano Lab in their day-to-day operations.

"On a new assignment I used to spend half a day building target lists and LinkedIn searches before I could start sourcing. With Kiwano Lab I answer a few questions and within minutes I have companies, benchmark profiles, and Boolean strings ready to paste. It hasn't replaced my judgment, but it has cut the setup time dramatically."
Anna L.
Independent search consultant, Amsterdam
"Our clients expect us to come prepared from day one. Kiwano Lab gives us market context, salary ranges, and a search strategy before the kickoff meeting, not after three days of manual research. We still refine the brief as the search evolves, but walking into that first conversation with real substance has changed how we're perceived."
Jean-Charles F.
Founder, boutique firm, Paris
"What I appreciate is that it's built for executive search, not adapted from something generic. When a search stalls, I use the chat to explore alternative talent pools or rethink our approach and the answers are grounded in our project data, not generic advice. It's genuinely useful as a sparring partner on difficult mandates."
Dieter S.
Partner, German branch of a global search network, Munich

Its AI models are trained and refined by senior executive search consultants with decades of experience, using real assignment logic rather than generic prompts.
