Executive search has historically forced a choice. Retained firms deliver rigor and charge for it upfront. Contingent recruiters work on success terms and deliver volume. We built a third option: the rigor of retained search, on the terms of contingent. Paid on placement, not on promise.
The outcome of retained. The terms of contingent.
Every search is grounded in the specific market it serves. Choose the area closest to your business to see how we work within it.
Asset management, development, brokerage, and operations leadership for owners, operators, and institutional firms.
Director-through-C-suite searches for firms whose competitive advantage is the strength of their people.
Leadership hiring for companies scaling deliberately, where the next hire shapes the next phase of the business.
Showpieces of recent work. Each engagement is anonymized; the searches, timelines, and outcomes are real.
“The strongest candidate for this role had no resume and was not looking. A search that waits for applicants never finds them.”
“Rather than fit this leader into the VP role, the client created a new Senior Vice President position around the shared vision that emerged.”
A deliberate method, applied to every engagement. Each step is built to reduce the risk of a high-stakes hire.
