AI intake for executive search firms
Porto learns the role, who it reports to, the company’s stage and the compensation range, so your partners open the first briefing already knowing the search.
Ashcombe Executive Search
AI assistant
Hi, I’m the AI assistant for Ashcombe Executive Search. What leadership role are you looking to fill?
A CFO. Ours is retiring in June and the board wants someone with IPO experience.
Timing and profile already covered
So it moves on to compensation
Thank you. Has the board set a compensation range, and is anyone internal being considered?
What Porto does for executive search firms
Porto replaces the contact form on an executive search firm’s website with a short AI conversation. It learns the role, the reporting line, the company’s stage, the compensation range and the timing, and sends your partners a brief before the first briefing call.
What Porto works out in the conversation
These are the topics, not a script. Porto asks only what it still needs, so a visitor who mentions their timeline in the first message never hears that question.
Role
Title, scope and why it is open
Reporting
Who the hire reports to and who decides
Company
Stage, size, ownership and location

The brief your team gets
Every conversation ends with a one page summary and a fit score, sent to the tools you connect. Your team reads it before the first call.

Questions from executive search firms
Can a confidential search start in a chat?
Yes. Porto asks whether the search is confidential, and the brief goes only to the tools you connect.
What if a candidate writes in?
Porto asks early and routes candidates to the right person on your team.
What about roles below our level?
You set the scope. Porto lets those inquiries know kindly and can point them elsewhere.
