One partner, a mapped market and a shortlist you would be happy to hire from twice over. For board, executive and senior specialist roles.
Recent clients include
Pick the model that fits the role. Many clients use all four over the life of a business.
Retained searches for chairs, non-executives, chief executives and their direct reports. A partner leads from brief to integration.
Senior specialists and heads of function in technology, finance, healthcare, legal and energy, where the field is small and every approach counts.
Proven interim executives and contractors for transformations, regulatory deadlines and gaps you cannot leave open.
A named, ranked view of a market before you commit to a hire, for succession plans, new locations or a board conversation.
A retained search follows the same rhythm whether it is a chair or a principal engineer. You never wait more than a week for news.
A few of the appointments we can talk about, with the numbers behind them.
“Henry ran the process with the care we would expect of our own advisers. Our new chair was in the room with lenders within a month, and it showed.”

Executive search is retained and billed in three stages: on engagement, on shortlist and on appointment, usually a third of first-year cash. Specialist roles can be engaged or on success. Interim is a margin on the day rate. Every proposal states the total before you sign.
For retained search, yes, and we would rather you did not run other agencies alongside us: the market notices. For specialist roles we can work on an engaged basis with a small upfront fee, which keeps both sides committed.
If an executive search appointment leaves within twelve months, we run the search again for no further fee. Specialist roles carry a six-month guarantee.
Yes. Around a third of our searches are for roles elsewhere in the UK, Ireland, Europe and North America. We map wherever the best people are, and say so when relocating someone is unrealistic.
We measure the longlist, not just the shortlist, and share the numbers with you at every stage. If a market map is narrow, we say why and widen the search before anyone is interviewed.
Hiring a senior leader, or thinking about your next move? Either way, you speak to a partner on the first call.
Or book a consultation with a partner.
