Search built for the roles that matter most.

Retained and contingency search across every major industry, engineered to reach the passive talent your competitors can't, and backed by a zero-risk guarantee.

How We Engage

Ways to partner with us

Contingency Search

Our standard engagement, most roles

Pay only when you hire. No retainer, no upfront fees. Our fee is earned solely on a successful placement. Ideal for specialized, individual-contributor, and team roles where speed matters.

  • Zero retainer, success-based
  • No fee until a hire is made
  • Whole-market & passive sourcing
  • Scales for multiple openings

Retained Search

Executive & confidential searches

A dedicated, exclusive partnership for your most senior and sensitive hires. In exchange for priority focus and accountability, a portion of the fee is committed upfront as an engagement retainer. The rest is due on placement.

  • Exclusive, fully committed search
  • Partial fee committed upfront
  • Executive assessment & references
  • Regular search readouts

Contract Staffing & Augmentation

Scaling benches & delivery teams

Flexible, project-based and augmentation talent to scale technical benches, staff client delivery engagements, or stand up a team fast. We act as a deployment partner, sourcing specialists who plug into your delivery model and ramp quickly.

  • Contract & augmentation talent
  • Deploy into client engagements
  • Rapid team buildout support
  • Specialized technical, AI & data talent

Contract-to-Hire

Try before you commit

Bring talent on under contract with a clear path to permanent conversion. De-risk critical hires by evaluating fit on the job before the long-term commitment. Ideal for fast-moving teams and newly created functions.

  • Trial-to-permanent pathway
  • Evaluate fit before converting
  • Lower hiring risk
  • Smooth conversion to full-time
Every Engagement Includes

A complete, rigorous search

Whole-market mapping

We identify every credible candidate in the market, not just those who apply.

Passive engagement

We reach the top 5% currently excelling elsewhere and bring them to the table.

Cultural DNA mapping

Every candidate is vetted for functional excellence and long-term organizational fit.

Curated shortlist

You receive at least three pre-interviewed candidates: a shortlist, never a stack.

Offer & onboarding support

We manage offers, counteroffers, transitions, and the first 90 days.

90-day guarantee

If a placement doesn't work out within 90 days, we run the replacement search at no additional fee.

Zero-Risk Fees
