Retained executive search and recruiting services
Tailored to the need, never the other way around.
Three ways to partner: retained search for senior leadership, subscription sourcing for your IC and manager hiring, and advisory to rebuild how you hire. Senior leadership runs every search personally.
Under 60 days
Average time-to-fill.
180 days
Retained search guarantee. If a placement leaves within 180 days, we run the replacement search free.
Senior leadership
Runs every search personally, from intake to offer.
Retained Search
Director, VP and C-suite
Confidential, consultative searches for your most critical senior roles: Directors, VPs and the full C-suite. We map the micro-market, engage passive candidates who aren't applying anywhere, and work discreetly with boards and founders to find leaders aligned with your long-term plans. Every candidate is evaluated for capability, leadership style, and how they will work with your team. Every retained search carries a 180-day guarantee: if the placement leaves within 180 days, we run the replacement search free.
Best for
- Director, VP and C-suite hires
- Confidential transitions
- Founder-led and PE-backed firms
Subscription Sourcing
Individual contributors and managers
A dedicated recruiter without the full-time cost. On a monthly subscription we work as part of your hiring team to source, screen and deliver qualified individual contributors and managers, at a predictable monthly cost.
Best for
- Individual contributor and manager hiring
- Ongoing or higher-volume needs
- Teams without internal recruiters
Hiring Process Consulting
Advisory
We audit how you hire and rebuild the system: intake, interview structure, scorecards and decision criteria, so your team makes faster, more consistent hiring decisions. Your managers keep a repeatable process they can run long after the engagement ends.
What we rebuild
- Intake and role calibration
- Interview structure and scorecards
- Decision criteria and debriefs
How we work
A disciplined method, every engagement.
Discovery
We learn the role, the team, and what success looks like 12 months in. This is the foundation for every search and advisory engagement.
Market mapping
We map the talent market and engage active and passive candidates directly through our network.
Vetting and fit
Every candidate is evaluated for capability, leadership style, values and team dynamics, not resumes alone.
Placement and the first 90 days
We support the offer, onboarding and the first 90 days. 97% of our placements are still in seat a year later. On retained searches, if a placement leaves within 180 days, we run the replacement search free.
