Fixed Fee Search
On a retained basis, we help you find the best talent across functions, geographies, and levels (mid-senior to the executive level of roles). While our relationships let us work exclusively with the best, our rigorous assessment processes ensure that we shortlist only people who will fit perfectly into your organization.
No surprises are ensured with a fixed fee retained search, allowing us to focus on the candidate journey with no bias.
Fractional & Interim
Lending CEOs a hand in building their organization and establishing a solid talent market presence. I can step in on a part time or full time basis.
This engagement is custom to each team based on their needs and priorities.
Step 1: Free Consultation
Intro sessions are 30-minutes in length and are typically conducted 1x1 with the Hiring Manager for the role. The value will be exchanged and insights gained regardless of whether we choose to enter into a partnership.
If we chose to enter into the partnership, we are dedicated 100% to you and your search. You are our Number 1 thought of the day.
The Partnership Journey
You need help. We can deliver. Let’s invest a few minutes getting acquainted to ensure we’ll be a good fit.
Step 3: Shortlist
Our usual time to shortlist is between 14-28 days and you can expect 2-5 stellar candidates on the shortlist. We do extensive screening over a deep dive, which can last from 1-3 hours, dependent on the role. Only those who pass the deep dive and match our scorecard, will be recommended to you. Deep dives could be recorded or typed in as a summary.
We’ll connect with you over a Video call once a week and you’ll have access to all Kanban board with all candidates and latest progress from day 1.
Step 4: Company Interviews
Your turn to meet the talent! Being that we’ll provide you with such an in-depth view of who these candidates are ahead of time, these conversations will prove to be some of the most enjoyable interviews you’ve conducted in your life.
Being that all sides will have been pre-closed ahead of time using hypothetical offers and acceptances, you can expect the negotiation and transition to be smooth.
Step 2: Kick off
Onboarding starts with a workshop between all parties involved in the hiring decision.
As a group, we’ll create the candidate scorecard, clearly outlining the responsibilities, qualifications, personality, compensation, benefits, and most importantly, the key business outcomes that define success in the role.
“Acquiring the right talent is the most important key to growth. Hiring was - and still is - the most important thing we do.”
— Marc Bennioff, Founder, Chairman and co-CEO of Salesforce
Strategy & Scorecard
The experience you’ll have during this stage will be unlike any you’ve had before. Our in-depth inquiries into the position scope, departmental objectives, and culture fit are our secret sauce.
The easiest part of running a search is matching technical skills with the job spec. The hardest part is matching a candidate’s soft skills to the correct style and flavor of your team in a way that’ll unlock and activate each candidate’s full capacity and creativity.
What you can expect as a client?
A personal and humanistic approach to talent and our commitment to putting our clients first enables us to identify the best people for every role through processes that are robust, transparent, and honest.
Honesty & Trust
To do our job well, you must give us your trust. We’ll do the same in return. Some things will need to be corrected, and be sure we will feedback on those to you to help you get to the desired success.
Better talent equals greater innovation, efficiency, and productivity, which equals fewer headaches, politics, layoffs, and faster funding!
Interview Preparation
Important candidates require special attention. They are equally as bright as you are and will be turned off by the slightest hint of a “wing it” type interview. We’ll take no chances of you risking the candidate misjudging your company’s management style by being under-prepared. We’ll review and guide you on the interview process for the roles we take on.
Our candidate assessments go beyond the typical CV and biased checks you’re accustomed to. Our process includes preparing you for each phone or in-person interview in a way that’ll give you such an in-depth look at the candidate and such a clear picture of how, where, and why they align with you, you’ll go into the interviews 100% confident and in control.
Candidate focus
Before we ever discuss a specific opportunity, candidates have fully divulged their future utopia of what they expect from their next career move.
We don’t sell jobs. We help top individuals find the next big step in their career and we do so by introducing them to organizations of similar rank. We dig deep and listen for the truth before anything else happens. We do not work with tire-kickers and neither should you.
