We find the CTOs and CXOs who aren't looking for a job.

Zifcare runs confidential, data-led searches for C-suite and senior technology leadership - built for founders and boards who can't afford to hire the wrong person twice.

Who You'll Work With

Rohit Chopra

Founder of Zifcare. Every mandate is led by the founder, not handed to a junior researcher - the person who writes your brief is the person who calls the candidates and manages the offer.

Zifcare's practice spans CXO and senior technology search across fintech, B2B SaaS, healthtech, agritech, real estate and enterprise IT - including searches for non-metro locations and thin national talent pools where a generalist recruiter has nothing to work with.

What We Do

Four practices, one mandate: get the leadership hire right.

We work exclusively on retainer, on roles where a wrong hire costs more than our fee — and a right one changes the trajectory of the company.

CXO Search

CEO, CTO, CPO, CFO and CHRO placements for funded startups, scale-ups and listed enterprises.

Technology Leadership

VP Engineering, Engineering Directors, and Heads of Data, AI, Platform and Security.

Fractional CXOs

Search for sectoral/functional experts for firms that need deep expertise without the full-time cost.

Talent Mapping

Confidential compensation benchmarks, org design and succession maps - before you open a mandate.

How A Search Runs

Every mandate follows the same discipline.

No spray-and-pray job boards. Every search is a structured, confidential process run against a written brief.

Brief

We sit with the founder or board to write the mandate: scope, success metrics, and the non-negotiables.

Map

We build the long list from our network and market mapping - including people not actively job-hunting.

Shortlist

Confidential approaches and structured conversations narrow the field to 4–6 credible candidates.

Assess

Reference checks, case exercises, and stakeholder panels - calibrated to the role, not a generic template.

Close

We manage the offer, counter-offer and notice-period negotiation through to a signed acceptance.
