Our Approach
A retained partnership designed to de-risk your most critical leadership investments and deliver transformative results.
20 years of experience
Phase 1:
Deep Discovery & Strategic Alignment
It begins not with a job description, but with a strategic conversation. We invest the time to understand your business objectives, your unique culture, and the specific challenges the new leader must solve. Together, we build a comprehensive success profile, defining the precise competencies, experience, and leadership DNA required.
Phase 2:
In-Depth Market Mapping & Research
Leveraging our insider’s perspective and original research, we confidentially map the market to identify a comprehensive list of potential candidates. We look beyond the obvious choices to uncover the hidden pool of A-player talent—the proven leaders who are not actively looking but are receptive to a strategic conversation.
Phase 3:
Rigorous Vetting & Assessment
This is where our firsthand industry experience becomes your greatest asset. We conduct in-depth, competency-based interviews that go far beyond the résumé. We assess candidates against the strategic imperatives of the role, vetting for both functional expertise and the intangible qualities that define a true cultural fit.
Phase 4:
Candidate Presentation & Selection
We present a curated shortlist of highly qualified, interested, and thoroughly vetted candidates. You receive a detailed dossier on each, including our analytical insights and candid assessment of their strengths and potential. This facilitates a streamlined, decisive, and effective interview process for you and your team.
Phase 5:
Offer, Negotiation & Onboarding
We act as your trusted intermediary, managing the offer and negotiation process to ensure a smooth and successful conclusion. Our partnership extends through the onboarding phase, providing counsel to ensure your new leader is positioned for immediate and long-term success.
Beyond the Search: Strategic Talent Advisory
Succession Planning
Talent Planning
We built this firm because we saw a critical gap in the market. Many search firms understand recruiting, but few have lived the operational realities of your industry. Our approach is founded on firsthand experience.
