Permanent & Executive Search

Two ways to hire permanently. Both run properly, neither run at volume.

Model 01

Contingency

For roles where speed and flexibility matter most. You pay on placement. Mid-senior level, targeted search, no retainer.

Model 02

Retained executive search

For board-level and senior leadership hires where confidentiality and a dedicated process matter more than casting wide. A structured, committed search from day one — including confidential approaches to candidates not actively looking.

This is a different engagement to contingency: fewer searches running at once, deeper market mapping, full discretion throughout.

We’ll tell you honestly which model fits your search — not which one suits us.

How it works

  1. 01

    Brief

    The role, and what success looks like at 6 and 12 months.

  2. 02

    Market approach

    Direct, targeted, confidential where required.

  3. 03

    Shortlist

    Curated. Every candidate assessed against the brief, not padded to hit a number.

  4. 04

    Process

    Interviews, feedback, offer management, handled end to end.

  5. 05

    Close

    Offer, negotiation, a managed start to protect the placement.
