Executive Search Firm | Talent Acquisition & Diversity Consulting
At Corporate Search Technologies (CST), we partner with client companies to deeply understand their business, enabling us to present the most highly qualified candidates available in the marketplace. Our mission is to help clients exceed their executive recruitment goals, enhancing shareholder value through the strategic placement of top talent.
Established in 1998, Corporate Search Technologies has over 25 years of experience in executive search, specializing in connecting Fortune 25 and Fortune 1000 companies with exceptional leadership talent. Our expertise lies in identifying and hiring both diverse and non-diverse talent, each with the leadership qualities required to thrive in performance-driven cultures.
CST offers comprehensive executive search and talent acquisition solutions, including:
Our leadership team has extensive experience in the recruitment industry, allowing us to deliver custom solutions designed to improve inclusive hiring practices. We partner with our clients to drive growth, enhance market value, and ensure diverse, high-performing leadership teams.
CST offers a competitive fee of 25% of the candidate’s first-year total compensation, reflecting the level of expertise and market insight we bring to each search engagement. This fee ensures that we are fully aligned with your goals and committed to delivering the highest caliber of talent.
We also provide flexible search options to suit your needs, including retained, container, and engaged search models.
At CST, we believe that diverse teams drive better results. With one of the highest diversity placement rates in the industry, we are committed to helping organizations build leadership teams that reflect varied perspectives and experiences. This commitment is not just about numbers; it’s about fostering equitable, high-performing work environments.
We understand that many organizations have robust DE&I education programs, but training alone is not enough. Real change happens when diverse talent sees themselves represented in leadership. CST provides unparalleled access to diverse executive talent, helping companies advance their equity and inclusion goals.
Wayne has been in executive search since 1989 and joined Wells Fargo in 2010, where he managed search services for Wealth, Brokerage, and Retirement business lines. Prior to this, Wayne served as President of Corporate Search Technologies for a decade, delivering senior-level talent across multiple industries.
At CST, our purpose is to help our clients find their future senior leaders as well as current senior leaders, which is why we work from director level to one level below CEO.

At CST, our purpose is to help our clients find their future senior leaders as well as current senior leaders, which is why we work from director level to one level below CEO. There are only two reasons that companies need to recruit outside these levels and that’s because succession planning has failed or they want to fundamentally change the role the function plays in the organization. It’s our job to help succession planning succeed. If it is strategic for our clients, it is strategic for us. Our partnership approach and zero-conflict-of-interest clears the way for us to succeed where others do not.
