Our Process
We don't believe in sending a flood of resumes and hoping something sticks. Every search follows a structured process built to find the right person, not just an available one.
Before anything else, we sit down with you. We want to understand the role, yes — but more importantly, we want to understand your company, your team dynamics, and what the ideal person actually looks like beyond the job description.
Usually about 45 minutes. We'll ask questions about your culture, your team, and what the ideal person actually looks like beyond the job description.
We go beyond job boards. We use a combination of our own network, targeted outreach, and multiple sourcing databases to surface candidates who aren't actively looking. We're always transparent with candidates about the nature of the opportunity, even when the employer remains confidential.
We structure each search based on the role, the timeline, and what will actually get you the best result. We'll walk you through our approach on our first call.
We speak with every candidate before they reach you. We evaluate communication style, motivations, culture alignment, and genuine interest in the role. You'll receive candidates we can genuinely stand behind, not a stack of profiles to sort through.
We send candidates when we're confident in them, not on a fixed timeline or in a fixed number. Quality over quantity, every time.
You receive a clear summary of each candidate, including our notes on why we think they're worth your time. We stay available throughout your process to advise on next steps.
We keep you informed at every stage. No surprises, no radio silence.
We manage the offer conversation on both sides, keeping expectations aligned, preventing surprises, and protecting the placement. We know how deals fall apart and how to prevent it.
We stay involved through the offer stage to keep both sides aligned and avoid last-minute surprises.
We check in after placement to make sure the fit holds. Most of our placements are still with their employer a year later. We think that says more about how we work than any number could.
The relationship doesn't end at signing. It starts there.
Working With Us
Our fees vary depending on the type of search, the seniority of the role, and how we structure the engagement. We're always upfront about this from the first conversation.
