How we work

Services

Two ways to work with us. Both get you the same quality of search — the difference is bandwidth and commitment.

Contingency

No placement, no fee.

We work the role on a contingency basis — you pay only when we successfully place a candidate. Right for most Seed and Series A companies who need flexibility.

  • 5-day shortlist commitment
  • Video-verified candidates
  • UK and US market coverage
  • Post-placement support included

Managed Search

Dedicated bandwidth. Guaranteed shortlist.

Retainer-based. You get dedicated search bandwidth, weekly pipeline updates, and a committed shortlist timeline. For companies where this hire is too important to be third in the queue.

  • Dedicated headhunter on your role
  • Weekly pipeline updates — no chasing required
  • Guaranteed shortlist within agreed timeline
  • Full market mapping included
  • Reduced success fee on placement
