The leadership teams who hire with us
Reach the whole market
The best leaders aren't reading your job ad
The people you want are running teams and hitting numbers elsewhere, not scanning the boards. We don't wait for applications. We map the market, then approach the directors and C-suite candidates who fit the brief directly and discreetly.
- Discreet, off-market headhunting, not advert responses
- Access to passive leaders who are not looking to move
- Candidates hand-picked for the role, never auto-generated lists
Screened before you see them
A shortlist backed by evidence, not a confident interview
We qualify track record, the scale they have led at and cultural fit before anyone reaches you. On leadership roles we add behavioural profiling, so you judge each candidate on what they have actually delivered.
- Every candidate screened and briefed by a real person
- Behavioural profiling on senior and leadership roles
- A curated shortlist with full narrative, feedback and recommendations
Fully managed
We run the search, you make the appointment
From the first brief to the signed offer, a dedicated Talent Partner manages mapping, approach, screening, scheduling and feedback around you. You interview and decide. We handle everything else.
- CEO, CFO, COO, VP, MD and board-level appointments
- Onsite, hybrid, remote or international mandates
- One dedicated point of contact from brief to offer

Doing it yourself
Your time

Essential FAQs
What does it cost to hire a leader through you?
One fixed fee, agreed before we start, rather than a percentage of the package. Traditional executive search runs at 25-33% of salary, so a £120k appointment can cost £30,000-£40,000. Our fixed project fee saves the vast majority of that, and you know the number from day one.
How quickly will I see candidates?
Leadership searches are deliberate rather than rushed, but you won't wait months. Once we have briefed the role and mapped the market we would typically target a first shortlist within 4-10 working days, depending on the seniority and the service required.
What levels of role do you cover?
Director, VP, MD, C-suite and board appointments across the business – CEO, CFO, COO, CMO, CRO, CTO and their equivalents – as well as the senior specialists who report into them.
Is the search confidential?
That depends on the project – we can go public or run the search in stealth mode, or a mix of both. Your call.
How do you judge whether someone can lead at this level?
We start by evaluating their experience, expertise, knowledge and potential. We then explore what they have delivered, how they achieved it and the outcomes – alongside the scale and stage of the businesses they have led, and their ability to build and lead high-performing teams.
How long will the search take?
Finding and appointing the right candidate can take four, six, eight weeks – or longer. That's why every project includes up to three months of sourcing support, giving you the time and runway to make the right hire.
