FAQ
Questions, answered
What is your typical executive search timeline?
Most C-suite and VP retained searches close in 8–14 weeks from kickoff to signed offer, including shortlist, references and offer negotiation.
Do you work on a retained or contingent basis?
Retained only for C-suite and board. We invest in deep research, off-market sourcing, and a written guarantee — contingent search incentivises the wrong behaviour for senior roles.
What functions and industries do you cover?
CEO, CFO, COO, CMO, CRO, CPO, CTO, CHRO, General Counsel and Board Director seats — across healthcare, SaaS, financial services, manufacturing, real estate, and venture-backed scale-ups.
How do you ensure diversity in your shortlists?
Every shortlist is diversity-vetted. We commit in writing to at least 40% diverse candidates on every long list and provide transparent funnel analytics to your board.
Do you offer fractional and interim executives?
Yes. We place fractional CFOs, CMOs, COOs and CROs on 6–18 month engagements, including interim executives during transitions and turnarounds.
What guarantees do you provide?
12-month replacement guarantee on permanent placements at no additional fee. We also offer 90-day onboarding support to maximise retention.
