Both client-centric and candidate-centric
We support both our clients and our candidates throughout each engagement.
-
Retainer & Exclusivity
Each one of our search mandates is tied to both a Retainer and an Exclusivity agreement. This framework is extremely important to secure work quality, ethics, and respect toward candidates.
-
Underlines the importance of the role
Senior candidates are keen to collaborate with us under this Retainer & Exclusivity model, which means for them that the employer who awarded us the search mandate deems the role senior and important enough to invest in the retainer and the exclusivity. These executives understand that a contingent and non-exclusive search entails the opposite.
-
Supports confidentiality of the search
Retainer & Exclusivity in tandem also supports best a process when a search is confidential. It is also a condition to protect the confidentiality of Candidates’ identity in the market. Without this model, confidentiality is unfortunately most often violated as many executives can witness in the market. This is an extremely important concern for our candidates. The executives who engage with us can count on our protecting their privacy. The clients who work with us know that they can trust us to preserve the confidentiality of a search.
-
Provides superior candidate experience
The Exclusivity helps us deliver the best possible experience to our candidates. Some employers still work with different search firms for the same position or conduct their own internal search whilst mandating a search firm. This old and transactional approach devalues the position and the Employer brand in the market. It is resented by senior candidates who legitimately wish to be treated with respect rather than being opportunistically chased like commodities through multiple channels.

-
Unique candidate database
We rely on a unique proprietary and unrivaled database of candidates in our industries and functions of focus, both in terms of breadth and depth.
-
Strong network of reliable market sources
We have patiently built throughout the years a solid web of relationships in the market that allows us to access the relevant talent, collect recommendations and insights, conduct in-depth background checks, and receive market information: all things necessary for the successful completion of a search.
-
Business-based assessments
We leverage our background as corporate business leaders and successful entrepreneurs to conduct business-based interviews to assess candidates’ performance, thought process, leadership skills, potential, values, and behavior.
-
Integrity and values
We are big on integrity and values. Both through our assessment and our market research, we make sure that the final candidate meets the required compliance standards.
-
Rigorous process
We drive a thorough, detailed, and rigorous process that includes frequent updates and exchanges with our clients. We present only a few candidates to our clients: only those most qualified who offer the best fit. We believe it is our job to select, and we are indeed very selective.
-
Solid understanding of our client's needs
We build deep knowledge of our clients' business, culture and needs. Our assignments are generally contracted directly with our clients' global HQs. The global business leader who is the hiring manager of the position is included into the hiring process.
