HOW WE ENGAGE
Retainer, Fractional or Contingency
We agree the structure before we agree the fee. Urgency, confidentiality and seniority decide which fits.
Retainer
A dedicated, exclusive search for your most senior or most sensitive seat, with our full attention from scoping to close.
Exclusive, dedicated search
Full market mapping & confidential approach
Milestone billing across the search
Best for CXO & board-level seats.
Fractional
An embedded talent partner on a part-time cadence - for teams hiring continuously but not ready for a full-time head of talent.
Ongoing, embedded engagement
Fixed monthly cadence, not per-role
Runs multiple open seats in parallel
Best for scaling functions.
Contingency
Success-based search for roles where speed and flexibility matter more than exclusivity.
Fee due on a successful hire
Runs alongside your own pipeline
Fast turnaround on shortlists
Best for single, well-defined seats
Brief us on the seat you need filled.
We'll recommend the engagement model that fits before we recommend anyone else.
