Our retained model is designed for businesses that view hiring as a strategic investment. We work as an extension of your leadership and talent function, embedding ourselves into your culture, understanding your goals and managing the full search process from brief to offer acceptance with focus, discretion and pace.
Unlike contingent search, a retained partnership guarantees priority, exclusivity and complete commitment from our senior team. It’s the model of choice for critical hires where precision, brand representation and time-to-hire matter most.
The hire is senior, confidential, or business-critical (VP level, commercial leadership, or niche technical roles).
You need dedicated resource and market mapping to identify and attract passive or hard-to-reach talent.
You want a transparent, data-driven process with milestone reporting and stakeholder alignment.
You value a trusted advisor who can manage brand perception and candidate experience at every stage.
Our retained model combines strategic search methodology with human-led insight, ensuring you not only hire the best person in the market but the right person for your business.
We begin with an in-depth briefing session to define success, understand business context and create a tailored hiring strategy.
Using a mix of AI sourcing, market intelligence and network reach, we identify the top talent within target markets, companies and geographies.
Our consultants approach candidates with a compelling, insight-led narrative, positioning your opportunity in a way that resonates with the right profiles.
Each candidate is assessed against agreed competencies, cultural fit and motivation. You’ll receive detailed profiles, interview notes and scoring insights.
We coordinate the full process end-to-end, managing candidate expectations, interview logistics and transparent communication throughout.
From offer negotiation to onboarding, we ensure a seamless experience for both client and candidate, helping secure long-term success.
