For CEOs and boards making the hires that can't be public yet. Net-new C-suite and VP builds, succession moves, and sensitive replacements, run under NDA with your identity protected until you choose to reveal it. We map the entire market, engage passive executives directly, and deliver a calibrated slate with full assessment and referencing. Engagements are retained or container-structured: a portion committed at kickoff for exclusivity and priority focus, the balance on placement, backed by our 90-day guarantee.
For HR leaders and hiring managers filling mission-critical functional roles. Success-based and fast: no retainer, no fee until you hire, first qualified candidates within days, whole-market passive sourcing on every search. Ideal for specialized individual contributors and team builds across our ten practice areas.
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.
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.
Some searches can't be public: a build the market shouldn't see coming, a replacement the team hasn't been told about, a move a competitor would love to know. We run confidential mandates as a discipline.
Mutual confidentiality from the first conversation.
Candidates learn who you are when you decide they should.
Compelling enough to move a passive executive, revealing nothing.
The people we approach trust us with their careers; that's why they answer.
What we're trusted with stays trusted, during the search and after it.
We identify every credible candidate in the market, not just those who apply.
We reach the top 5% currently excelling elsewhere and bring them to the table.
Every candidate is vetted for functional excellence and long-term organizational fit.
You receive at least three pre-interviewed candidates: a shortlist, never a stack.
We manage offers, counteroffers, transitions, and the first 90 days.
If a placement doesn't work out within 90 days, we run the replacement search at no additional fee.
Confidential Executive Search, run retained or container-structured, commits a portion of the fee at kickoff in exchange for exclusivity and priority focus, with the balance due on placement.
