★ Executive search platform / By HOG ★
SausageExecutive Search& absolutelyNo Filler.
Sausage is the executive search platform from HOG, built for search firms, retained search consultants and in-house leadership hiring teams. Map the market, find the passive candidates nobody else is calling, and build a shortlist worth presenting. Executive recruiting software with all of the meat, and your data stays on your own machine.
All Meat
§ 01 — The Problem
You don't need another CV database. You need the one. The best senior leaders aren't applying for anything. Finding them is the whole job.
- I.
Thou shalt map the market.
Talent mapping before the first call: target companies, leadership teams and who really runs what.
- II.
Thou shalt hunt the passive candidate.
The executive you want isn't on a job board. Executive headhunting starts where the applicant pool stops.
- III.
Thou shalt keep thy mouth shut.
Senior hiring is sensitive. Sausage keeps candidate records, client names and search notes on your own machine, so a confidential search stays confidential.
§ 02 — The Platform
Pick from the wall.
Everything an executive search consultant needs to run a mandate, with agents doing the legwork so your people can get on with the conversation.

Sourcing
Passive candidate sourcing
Agentic candidate sourcing aimed at the passive candidates who would never answer a job ad.
Shortlist
Candidate shortlisting
Cut a long list down to the handful of candidates worth a client’s time. Longlist to shortlist, without the spreadsheet.
Approach
Candidate engagement
Headhunting approaches written for one person, not ten thousand, so senior candidates actually reply.
Research
Executive talent intelligence
Candidate research and talent intelligence on backgrounds, moves and motivations, gathered by agents.
Pipeline
Executive search CRM
Every mandate, candidate and client conversation in one recruitment pipeline, on your own machine.

§ 05 — Questions
Executive search, straight up.
What is executive search software?
Executive search software is what search consultants and in-house talent teams use to run senior hires: talent mapping, candidate research, outreach, shortlists and client updates. Sausage has agents do the legwork.
Who is Sausage for?
Executive search firms, retained search consultants, boutique headhunters, in-house talent acquisition teams and private equity talent partners hiring at leadership level.
How is Sausage different from an applicant tracking system?
An applicant tracking system waits for people to apply. Senior leaders rarely do. Sausage is built to go out and find them.
What roles can you recruit with Sausage?
C-suite, VP and director roles, plus board appointments and non-executive directors, across any leadership hiring brief.
Where does Sausage keep my data?
On your own machine. Candidate records, client names and search notes are kept locally rather than in a shared cloud database, which is exactly what a confidential search needs.
