THE PROCESS
How an engagement works
Discovery
Before we open a search, we spend time understanding your company: what you have built, where you are going, what the role actually needs to look like, and what kind of person will thrive in your environment.
Market mapping
We provide a clear picture of the candidate landscape before we begin active search. This includes relevant talent pools, compensation benchmarks, and an honest view of where supply and demand sit for the role.
Search and assessment
We run a thorough, structured search and assess candidates against the brief. You receive a shortlist of people we would genuinely recommend, not everyone who applied or responded.
Process management
We stay close throughout the interview process, managing communication on both sides and keeping things moving. Candidate experience matters at this stage, and we protect yours.
Offer and close
We help you get to a successful offer and manage the period between acceptance and start. This is where searches are most often lost, and where our involvement matters most.
ENGAGEMENT
How we engage
Retained
Full focus, guaranteed result. The right model for senior and critical hires where quality and speed both matter.
Contingency
How most relationships begin. Trust built before moving to a more committed structure. The quality of the work does not change.
