Retained Search
Dedicated Executive-Level Recruitment for Senior or Confidential Roles
Retained Search is our most comprehensive model, typically used for senior, highly specialised or confidential appointments. The fee is divided into three stages: the start of the search, the midpoint and the final placement.
This model allows us to dedicate time and resources upfront to properly map the market, approach relevant candidates directly and manage the process with discretion. It’s particularly suited to leadership roles, niche skill sets or situations where replacing someone currently in the role needs to be handled carefully.
This approach ensures dedicated focus, a structured and disciplined process, and complete alignment from the outset.

Other Services
Whether it’s a one-off placement or you're scaling your team, we listen, advise, and execute with intention.
This is for permanent placements. A standard fee is charged only after a candidate is successfully placed. It is best for long-term roles and offers a simple, no-commitment approach until hiring is complete.
Direct Hire
Ideal for short-term or flexible needs. This covers candidates hired on a contract basis, typically working month to month. It allows clients to scale staffing up or down based on project or seasonal needs.
Contract Hire
This is a more committed hiring approach. A deposit is paid upfront to start the search, and the remaining fee is charged only once a placement is made. It ensures focused priority on your role.
