For employers
The cost of the wrong delivery hire is not the fee.
It is the slipped program, the reset timeline, the team that loses faith, and the second search you did not budget for. We exist to reduce that risk — not to find you a cheaper candidate.
When to call us
We are built for the high-stakes hire.
A search that failed
The first process did not land the right person, and you cannot afford to repeat the mistake.
A board-visible program
A funded transformation whose success depends on getting the delivery leadership right.
A confidential replacement
You need to assess and move discreetly, without signalling intent to the market or the incumbent.
What we ask of you
Quality runs both ways.
We hold candidates to a standard, and we hold the engagement to one too. Before we commit, we confirm the role is real and the process is fair. It protects your time, and it is why good candidates trust us.
- A funded role. Genuinely budgeted, not aspirational.
- Disclosed compensation. A real range we can represent honestly.
- A defined process. A clear decision path and a named decision-maker.
- Timely feedback. The best candidates move quickly; the process should too.
- No unpaid assignments. Candidates are never asked to work for free.
How we charge
Clear in the room, not a percentage of a salary.
We do not tie our fee to someone's pay packet, and we do not run a quiet contingency race against four other agencies. We agree the complete fee with you before any work begins.
- Fees are fixed and independent of salary
- The complete fee is agreed before work starts
- Bespoke searches begin with a paid activation
- Contract engagements use a disclosed, open-book formula
- Replacement terms are specified before engagement
- Any additional scope is approved in advance
We are not the cheapest option, and we will tell you when access alone would serve you better.
Confidentiality
Your search stays yours.
Candidate identities are revealed only with consent and only when an engagement warrants it. We treat confidential searches as exactly that.
