§ How we work

Our playbook.

Brief

We agree the role in writing first.

One conversation to agree the responsibilities the role owns, the experience and strengths that are genuinely essential, the package and the interview process. Commercial terms are agreed in writing before a search begins.

Research

We approach with intent, not volume.

We map the companies, teams and relevant experience the brief points to, then approach people individually about your role. No mass campaigns, no generic messages.

Introduce

A focused shortlist, with evidence.

Introductions come with a written case: relevant experience and achievements, confirmed interest in the role, salary expectations and notice period, and open questions for your interviewers. Assessment stays with your team.

Start a conversation.

Confidentially, always.
