Critical leadership
Senior appointments with material influence on programs, teams or business performance.
EMPLOYERS / RETAINED SEARCH
Focused search for roles where compromise is expensive.
A dedicated search model for strategically important, confidential or unusually difficult mandates requiring deeper market coverage and sustained candidate engagement.
WHEN RETAINED SEARCH FITS
Depth over volume.
Retained search is designed for mandates where the relevant candidate population is narrow, passive, senior, confidential or strategically important. The assignment receives a defined research plan and dedicated search attention from market mapping through acceptance.
This creates a more deliberate process, stronger market intelligence and deeper access to candidates beyond the visible applicant pool.
IDEAL USE CASES
Scarce expertise
Highly specialized technical roles with a limited addressable talent pool.
Confidential replacement
Discreet searches where public advertising is inappropriate or premature.
Market entry
Building a new function, geography or capability where market intelligence matters.
DELIVERABLES
A search you can see progressing.
Search strategy and target-market definition
Systematic talent and competitor mapping
Direct outreach to passive candidates
Regular market feedback and calibration
Structured assessment and shortlist rationale
Offer management and close support
