Here are some frequently asked questions

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

How does pricing work?

We typically work on a contingency basis, with flexible structures depending on the role and partnership. Our goal is alignment—not rigid terms—so we can build long-term relationships with our clients.

What types of roles do you actually focus on?

We support a range of roles across professional services, legal, finance, and high-growth companies—from individual contributors to leadership hires. Our focus is always on impact, not just title.

What makes you different?

We’re intentionally selective. We prioritize long-term relationships over volume, take a highly personalized approach to every search, and represent both clients and candidates with transparency and care.

How quickly can we expect to see candidates?

We typically present initial candidates within 1–2 weeks. That said, we don’t keep a long list or “rolodex” of candidates we try to fit into your role. Instead, we take the time to understand exactly what you’re looking for and go find the right people specifically for your team—because the right fit matters more than the fastest hire.

What does it actually look like to work together?

We start with a deep intake to understand your business, team, and goals. From there, we handle sourcing, screening, and candidate communication—acting as an extension of your team throughout the process.

What happens if the hire doesn’t work out?

Our placements are backed by a replacement guarantee. More importantly, our process is designed to ensure strong alignment from the start, minimizing risk on both sides.

Are you selective with who you work with?

Yes—and intentionally so. We partner best with companies that value relationships, move with intention, and are serious about hiring the right people—not just filling seats.

Can you help if we’re still figuring out the role?

Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us in the early stages. We can help shape the role, define the profile, and ensure you’re targeting the right talent from the beginning.

Why do clients continue working with you long-term?

Because we treat every search like it matters—because it does. We care about the people, the team, and the long-term outcome, not just the placement.
