For Hedge Funds, FinTech, Consulting & Law Firms
We speak your language.
Confidential executive search built for institutions that can't afford a wrong hire — and don't have 9 months to find the right one.
The problem
The retained search market is broken at the senior end.
You're paying $150K+ to a generalist firm that's never run a P&L, never sat in a compliance review, never read a PPM.
You're receiving the same 6 candidates 4 other firms already pitched to your competitors.
And when the placement leaves at month 7, you start over — minus the retainer.
How we work
A four-stage process, built around the cost of getting it wrong.
Every stage of our methodology directly answers a pain point our clients told us mattered most.
Stage 01 · 2 weeks
"We don't have time to screen 200 irrelevant candidates."
— what our clients told us
Discovery & Mapping
We don't start with candidates. We start with you. Two weeks of strategy sessions, P&L review, team dynamics analysis, and a complete picture of what success in this seat actually looks like — not the title, but the work.
12-month placement guarantee
If your hire leaves in the first 12 months, we replace them — free.
We're aligned with the long-term outcome, not the placement fee. Our 97% 12-month retention rate isn't a marketing line — it's the contractual standard we hold ourselves to.
- Free replacement search if placement departs in first 12 months
- Structured 30/60/90-day check-ins with hire and client
- Off-the-clock advisory if performance issues emerge early
