Services

Four ways we put the right person in the seat.

Every engagement starts the same way — a scorecard we build with you — and ends the same way: a person who is still there a year later.

Executive Search

Retained search for the seats that set direction — C-suite, VP, and board-adjacent roles where the shortlist has to be right the first time.

We work a defined market map rather than a database. Every candidate is sourced, referenced, and assessed against the scorecard we build with you in the first week, and you see the full field — including the people who said no and why.

  • Market map and calibrated scorecard before outreach
  • Confidential approaches for replacement searches
  • Structured references and compensation benchmarking
  • Twelve-month placement guarantee

Professional & Direct Hire

Permanent placement across finance, operations, engineering, and revenue teams — filled in weeks, not quarters.

A standing bench of pre-screened professionals in our core sectors means the first slate lands quickly. We interview every candidate ourselves before you spend an hour on them, and we manage the offer through to a signed start date.

  • First qualified slate within ten business days
  • Skills, culture, and motivation screening on every candidate
  • Interview logistics and feedback loops handled end to end
  • Offer negotiation and counteroffer management

Contract & Contingent Staffing

Interim leaders, project specialists, and volume teams — on our payroll, on your timeline.

We carry the employer of record, insurance, and compliance burden so you can flex headcount against a project curve. Weekly time approval, transparent bill rates, and a clean conversion path when a contractor becomes indispensable.

  • Employer of record, payroll, and W-2 compliance
  • Interim executives and fractional leadership
  • Ramp teams for launches, migrations, and seasonal peaks
  • Contract-to-hire with pre-agreed conversion terms

Talent Advisory

The work around the hire: compensation data, org design, scorecards, and interview training for your own team.

Sometimes the answer is not another search. We audit your funnel, benchmark pay against live offer data from our placements, and train hiring managers to run interviews that actually predict performance.

  • Compensation benchmarking from live offer data
  • Org design and role scoping workshops
  • Interview and scorecard training for hiring managers
  • Hiring funnel and time-to-fill diagnostics

The search, step by step

The same sequence runs on a VP of Operations search and a six-week contract team. You always know which stage you are in.

  1. 01

    Intake

    A working session with the hiring manager and the people the role touches. We leave with a scorecard, a compensation range, and a written definition of success at twelve months.

  2. 02

    Market map

    We map the companies and titles where the right person is likely sitting today, then approach them directly and confidentially. No job-board spray.

  3. 03

    Assessment

    Every candidate you meet has been interviewed by us against the scorecard, referenced with former managers, and pressure-tested on compensation and motivation.

  4. 04

    Slate & decision

    A shortlist with written assessments, not résumés in a folder. We run the interview loop, gather feedback fast, and keep the process from stalling.

  5. 05

    Offer & onboarding

    We handle the offer conversation, counteroffer risk, and start-date logistics — then check in at thirty, ninety, and one hundred eighty days.
