Our process

A search built around your company.

Every engagement follows the same disciplined path, shaped to the company, the role and the people involved. Because we take on so few searches, you work with the same person from the first call to the first day.

1

Intake conversation

We start by listening. We learn the business, the team, the stage you are at and what success in the role really looks like. We then put the search in writing so nothing is left to assumption.

What you receive
  • —A written scope covering the role, the profile and the plan
  • —Clear ownership of who does what
  • —An honest view of the market for this search
2

Search and outreach

We map the market and approach people directly, including the strongest candidates who are not looking. We tell your story with care, and we protect your confidentiality throughout.

What you receive
  • —Regular progress updates as the search develops
  • —Real market feedback on the role and expectations
  • —Full discretion for confidential searches
3

Shortlist and interviews

We meet and assess candidates ourselves before you ever see them. You receive a small, vetted shortlist with our candid view of each person, and we coordinate interviews so your time goes to the right conversations.

What you receive
  • —A vetted shortlist, not a stack of résumés
  • —Our candid assessment of every finalist
  • —Scheduling and logistics handled for you
4

Offer and onboarding

We help you shape the offer, guide the negotiation and keep both sides aligned through the decision. After the hire starts, we stay close through the first stretch so the placement lands well.

What you receive
  • —Support through offer and negotiation
  • —Check-ins after the start date
  • —A 90-day replacement guarantee
