Retained search, run the way it should be.
We identify and recruit leaders for the roles a business cannot afford to get wrong, and we stay accountable through the transition, not just to the offer letter. Partner led, fully visible, and priced in writing before you commit.
The Number That Matters
97%
of our business is repeat or referred
Clients come back because the search worked, the fee held, and the partner they hired was the partner who did the work.
How the Search Runs
Define the need
Build the profile
Map the market
Engage and assess
Align and close
Support the transition
We translate the business challenge into a clear leadership objective and align your team on it before outreach begins.
A role profile that goes beyond the resume to the behavioral traits and decisions the role demands.
AI informed research and direct sourcing surface the full field, including candidates no database has flagged.
Senior partner led conversations, structured interviews, references, and a validated assessment layer where engaged.
We facilitate the decision with your board and stakeholders and manage the offer through acceptance.
We stay engaged through onboarding and the first year, because the search is not over at the start date.
Priced in Writing
How We Structure Fees
Most retained firms price a search as an open percentage of compensation and add an indirect or administrative charge on top, so the fee floats upward with the offer and the client learns the final cost last. We do neither.
1
Benchmarked to compensation with a cap
2
No indirect or administrative fees
3
Structures that fit the situation
A written not-to-exceed figure in every proposal, so the number you approve at the start is the ceiling, not the estimate.
The percentage add-on for expenses is a thing of the past, and we do not charge it. Direct out of pocket costs, if any, are agreed in advance and passed through at cost.
Fixed fee, milestone based, and coupled engagement options for clients retaining multiple searches, all set in writing before commitment.
The fee structure is set in writing in every proposal. No surprises at close.
