Retained search is our exclusive, partner led model, built for roles where accuracy, pace, and discretion matter. We begin by defining the role against strategy, risk, culture, and the value creation plan, then agree a search plan, milestones, and a clear reporting cadence. Research maps the target universe, market insight sharpens the brief, and discreet outreach engages qualified prospects. Evaluation is structured and comparable, using capability and values based interviews, case or scenario work where appropriate, and optional psychometrics administered by qualified practitioners. Shortlists are balanced and decision ready, with inclusive sourcing, calibrated referencing, and clean documentation throughout. We provide weekly updates on funnel, feedback, and risks, maintain strict confidentiality with NDAs and information barriers, and manage communications so every stakeholder is aligned. Typical pace is four to six weeks to shortlist, and twelve to sixteen weeks to completion, with accelerated pathways agreed for time sensitive mandates.
