You’re not hiring a logo. You’re hiring outcomes. So ask yourself: is your current search partner actually delivering value? Or are they just a big name you use to cover yourself when the hire underdelivers?

Don’t Overpay for Mediocrity. In a sector defined by uptime, speed and precision - why settle for a slow, generic search process?.

Traditional Search Firms:

  • Charge 30–50% of total comp

  • Start every search from zero

  • Hand off delivery to junior researchers

  • Limited by restrictive hands-off agreements
