Questions we get asked
How long does a leadership search take?
Finalists usually arrive within two to four weeks. Most senior people have 60–90 days' notice, so plan for a start date about three months after the brief.
Do you take references?
Yes, two structured references per finalist, with the candidate's consent and never from a current employer without permission.
What happens if a permanent hire leaves in the first 90 days?
We replace them free of charge. If the hire resigns or leaves for performance reasons within 90 days of joining, we run a fresh search at no extra fee. It does not cover redundancy or a change of role, and the terms are written into your agreement.
Can you run a confidential search?
Yes. We describe the role without naming your company until a candidate has passed our screen and agreed to confidentiality. Confidential searches cost nothing extra.
Do you need exclusivity on the role?
No. We work alongside your in-house team and other partners. If two sources submit the same candidate, the first timestamped submission made with the candidate's consent counts.
Does AI make decisions about candidates?
AI helps our recruiters search and rank profiles. A recruiter speaks to every candidate, a senior recruiter signs off every shortlist, and AI never rejects a candidate on its own.
