This is how we write up a search: the seat, the brief, the shortlist and what happened after the start. The format, the terms behind every search and what clients have written to us are all below.
Each case follows the search in the order it happened. We record what was decided at every station, so you can judge the work and not only the result.
The case file, station by station
Records: the role, the level and why the seat mattered now
Before the brief
The reporting line and the team around the seat.
The target, quota or metric the person in the seat is accountable for.
What changed in the business that made this the seat to fill.
Records: the calibration call, held on day one
Day 1
The outcomes the hire must deliver, agreed with the hiring manager before the search starts.
What the client could pay, and what the seat has to move.
The two or three things that genuinely rule a candidate out.
Records: where we looked and how we screened
Days 2 to 7
A targeted list built from people doing the job now, not a job board.
Every name screened for execution in the client's market, not for a CV that merely matches.
The first candidate goes into a live review so the search can be corrected early.
Records: the three to five people we put forward
Days 8 to 10
Three to five calibrated candidates, inside ten working days of the signed brief.
What they have run, why they fit this seat, pay expectations and notice period.
Where each candidate is weak, written down before the client meets them.
Records: interviews, offer and start date
After the shortlist
Scheduling and references, handled by us and run at the client's pace.
Negotiation and offer management, including the counter-offer conversation.
The date the hire started, which is when the fee falls due.
Records: the ramp and the check-ins
Post-hire
How the first months went against what the client planned.
Whether the hire is still in seat at each post-hire check-in.
What the client says about the hire, quoted only with their permission.
Every case file reports
A case study is only useful if you can tell how much of it to trust. These are the rules every case file is held to.
A client’s name or logo appears only with their written agreement. Without it, we describe the market, the seat and the size of the company.
Dates, counts and outcomes come from the search record. A number we cannot trace is not published.
A search that was confidential at the time stays that way. We describe the seat and the market, and nothing that points back to the client or the people involved.
A strong seller in one market is an average one in the next, so every case file is filed under the market it was run in. Pick yours to see the seats we fill there.
We support SaaS companies scaling revenue teams, from a first sales pod to new markets, with talent fluent in product led, ABM and enterprise motions.
Frontline commercial talent that understands technical services, urgency and long term account value.
Proven client facing and delivery talent for staffing firms, from outreach through to proposal support.
Proposal and estimation roles that decide bidding success, filled by people who understand scopes, pricing and project pipelines.
Technical hiring for MEP, insulation and industrial contractors, with candidates fluent in specs, bids and contractor workflows.
Scalable go-to-market infrastructure for PE backed firms, with talent that accelerates topline growth and improves acquisition efficiency.
Nothing is payable until your hire starts, and then it is a flat 15% of first-year base.
Three clients, quoted as they wrote to us about searches we ran for them. We publish no names or logos without permission.
Case studies are filed by market and by seat. Tell us the market and the seat when you brief us, and say you would like an example. We will share a case where the client has agreed to it. The six markets are on our industries page.
We publish a client’s name or logo only with their written permission, and some searches are confidential from the start. Where we do not have permission, we describe the market, the seat and the size of the company, and nothing that points back to the client.
Six stations: the seat, the brief, the search, the shortlist, the hire and what happened after the start. Each one records dates, counts and decisions from the search file, so you can see how a search ran as well as how it ended.
You see a shortlist of three to five calibrated candidates within ten working days of a signed brief. The clock starts when the brief is signed. See how an engagement works.
On go-to-market placements the fee is a flat 15% of first-year base, paid only once your hire starts, with no retainer and no upfront fee. Technical and project delivery searches are quoted against the brief before work starts, on the same contingency basis.
We recruit across six markets and two desks: go-to-market, and technical and project delivery. Browse the roles we recruit or the markets we hire into to find the seat closest to yours.
