Leadership recruiting is about telling a story. It’s not just about matching experience with a job description—it’s about understanding a candidate’s journey, their strengths, empathy, and ability to rise to challenges. That’s what sets The Leaders Lab apart.
Founded in 2021 by Ken Eslick, The Leaders Lab has placed over 1,000 leaders globally, becoming a premier executive search firm with a reputation for precision and performance.
Ken needed a tech stack that evolved with his growing needs and removed guesswork, so that his team can spend more time closing. His search for the right tech stack ended with Recruiterflow.
Over the years, Ken tried multiple platforms but none of them felt better than a spreadsheet. Recruiterflow offered useful features like recipes, multichannel sequences, and automations allowing structured candidate tracking, which was impossible in spreadsheets.
“Recruiterflow helped me understand the power of recipes and campaigns. If you use Recruiterflow properly, it will definitely increase your topline.”

In Ken’s experience, most tools aren’t user-friendly, requiring an extensive training module before getting started. Recruiterflow’s intuitive interface made it easy to use from day 01 ensuring a 100% user adoption.
Ken had a process but lacked insights. For a team that doesn’t believe in the spray and pray approach, it is crucial to be aware of what’s working and what isn’t. With advanced reporting on Recruiterflow, Ken was able to identify gaps and improve conversions.
According to Ken, most software promise the world but fail to deliver. With Recruiterflow, Ken unlocked new ways to optimize RecOps. For instance, multichannel sequences helped create a well-defined outreach, increasing candidate sourcing by 14%.
To engage active candidates, automations ensured quicker TAT, decreasing time to placement by 61%. Here’s how:
According to Ken, the difference between a good and great strategy is knowing “what is working and what isn’t.”
Dashboards on Recruiterflow give a detailed breakdown of active open roles, candidates in each role along with their stage, closures etc. giving a deep visibility of individual and team performance, without any extra effort.

Recruiterflow is a unified ATS & CRM, making it is easy to manage candidate and client data. For The Leaders Lab, this meant all their data now lived in one place, and spoke to them, as they needed.
Ken believes in using technology to the fullest. So, when it comes to creating a tech stack for his team, Recruiterflow was an obvious choice.
Features like sequences on Recruiterflow ensure no opportunities are lost, advanced reports improve business visibility, and automations reduce admin work increasing productivity by 22% per recruiter.
“I rank Recruiterflow very highly. There’s constant innovation based on understanding what customers want. It feels like we have a personal relationship. Feels like home.”

Ken sees Recruiterflow as a strategic partner in this journey: one that helps his team stay agile, efficient, and scale, by automating and simplifying it’s recruitment operations.
“There is enough business out there but there’s no easy wins anymore as they were a few years ago. With an effective tech stack, conversions can increase.”
