Great recruitment begins long before the search
Finding the right candidate for leadership roles takes more than just posting a vacancy and hoping for the best. It requires someone who understands your business well enough to define what great looks like for you. That is where I start, and it makes all the difference in creating an impressive candidate showcase.
Ways we work together
Contingency
Engaged Search
No fee is payable until a placement is made, making this a familiar and flexible option for many organisations , particularly where the role is well-defined and timescales are open.
All contingency placements are supported by a twelve-month rebate or replacement guarantee, providing reassurance should circumstances change after an appointment is made.
Engaged Search
Engaged Search
An engaged search involves a shared commitment at the outset, securing exclusivity and priority focus for your role. This allows the time to properly understand your business, the context of the appointment, and the wider demands of the position before any approach is made.

An engaged search involves a shared commitment at the outset, securing exclusivity and priority focus for your role. This allows the time to properly understand your business, the context of the appointment, and the wider demands of the position before any approach is made.
Engaged searches are supported by a defined rebate or replacement guarantee, aligned to the timing and nature of the appointment. This approach suits organisations that value focus and care but are not yet ready to move to a fully retained model.
Retained Search
Retained search is designed for senior, sensitive, or business-critical appointments where discretion, depth of assessment, and careful market mapping are essential.
This model provides full focus from the outset and includes a defined replacement guarantee. The emphasis is on the quality and rigour of the process, not simply on a transactional outcome.
Fees and Guarantees
Fees reflect the complexity, seniority, and requirements of the role, and are always discussed openly before any search begins. The engagement model and associated terms are confirmed in writing in advance, giving clarity and confidence to both sides.
