Methodology

A retained process, handled personally.

Every engagement is led directly by the founder. No handoffs, no juniors driving your search, no scale factory. Long-term success starts with genuine partnership.

01

Discovery

We start with a candid conversation about the business, the team, and the leader you need — not a checklist. We calibrate against your stage, roadmap, and culture before anything else.

02

Market Intelligence

We map the market end-to-end: competitors, adjacent industries, quiet talent, and the compensation reality on the ground. You get a real picture of who exists, and who moves.

03

Discreet Outreach

Every conversation reflects your brand. Approaches are personal, senior, and confidential — never templated. Passive candidates trust the process because it respects them.

04

Rigorous Assessment

Deep structured interviews, work-sample calibrations, and blind references. We test for the specific technical and leadership signal your organization actually needs.

05

Offer & Close

We stay close through the finish line — advising on offer construction, counter-offer dynamics, family logistics, and start plans. Placements close because they're built to.

06

Integration

Structured 30/60/90 check-ins with leader and hiring manager. A placement isn't a hire — it's a leader landing well and compounding over years.

Discuss a confidential search.

Every mandate begins with a private conversation. Share the shape of the role and we'll bring you a considered point of view.
