Executive Search
Leadership hires, found rather than advertised.
Companies hiring a leader where the wrong appointment is expensive. A senior appointment is not a volume problem. We map the market for the role, approach people who are not looking, run structured interviews against a scorecard you sign off, and manage the offer through to a start date.
Zero cost to recruit · placed in 2-4 weeks · forever replacement
- Market mapping before anyone is approached
- Discreet outreach to people who are not job hunting
- A scorecard agreed with you and interviewed against
- Weekly written progress with the longlist visible
- Reference and background checks at leadership depth
What it is
Executive Search, in plain terms.
It suits director, VP and C-level hires, first leaders in a new function, and any search you would rather your competitors did not hear about.
You get a named lead on the search, weekly written progress, and a longlist you can interrogate rather than a folder of CVs.

Contingency search skips that step, which is why it surfaces the same active candidates everyone else has already seen.
Direct Hire is a fast search for a defined role, paid on the hire. Executive Search is a mapped, discreet process for a leadership seat, with a longer guarantee.
Two to four weeks from the discovery call for most roles. We headhunt against your brief rather than forwarding a database, so the shortlist is built for you.
You get a forever replacement at no extra cost, plus a 14-day money-back guarantee. We carry the risk of a bad match, not you.
