Confidential search for leadership and hard-to-fill roles
Senior and niche hires rarely come from job ads. Our executive search maps the market, approaches the people who fit the brief directly and handles every conversation with discretion, whether you are replacing a leader or building a new function.
Ideal for
- CXO, VP and head-of-function roles
- Confidential replacements
- New business lines and leadership for new markets
Everything handled, start to finish
- A detailed role and market brief agreed with you and your leadership
- Market mapping of the companies and people that fit
- Direct, confidential approaches to passive candidates
- In-depth assessment interviews and referencing
- A small, well-documented shortlist with a clear view of each candidate
- Support through offer, resignation and onboarding
How billing works
A retained search, with the fee agreed at the start of the mandate and invoiced in stages. The details depend on the role and are set out in your engagement letter.
Every invoice is a GST invoice, and clients on the portal can view and download theirs at any time.

How is confidentiality handled?
The client name is shared only with candidates who are seriously interested and, where needed, after they agree to keep it confidential. Your current team does not need to know a search is running.
How long does a search take?
Leadership searches take longer than standard hiring. We agree a realistic timeline in the brief and report progress to you every week.
Why is it retained rather than success-only?
A retained mandate pays for the research and the time spent approaching people who are not looking. It means a recruiter is committed to your search, not working it alongside others.
