AI-poweredretained and executive searchrecruitment
Headhunt talent discreetly, vet candidates at every stage, and bill against the retainer, so you can grow your reputation and win more business.
Capture retainer and terms of business
Document the service level upfront by recording the job brief, signing the retainer, and setting confidentiality requirements before the search begins.
Headhunt from talent marketplaces
Reach strong candidates by approaching passive talent, building longlists without jobs ads, and protecting candidate confidentiality.
Vet candidates at every stage
Vet every candidate thoroughly by running structured interviews, checking references, and confirming background checks before the final round.
Report progress against set milestones
Keep clients informed by meeting agreed milestones, capturing approvals at every stage, and documenting progress throughout the search.
Bill every milestone against the retainer
Bill the way retained search works by invoicing against milestones, tracking onboarding, and matching each client’s terms of business.
Executive search for senior leadership roles
Place senior leaders across finance, healthcare and mining & resources, where every search demands discretion and a defensible process.
Finance
CFO and finance director searches demand discretion and board-level scrutiny. Source confidentially and bill against milestones the way finance retainers run.
Healthcare
Hospital CEO and medical director searches carry high stakes. Approach sitting leaders discreetly without alerting their current health service.
Mining & Resources
Mine GMs and resources executives are scarce and rarely on the market. Map passive candidates confidentially and bill against agreed milestones.
