What is Executive Search Retained Permanent Recruitment Solutions

Executive search is a retained search solution where an agency is granted exclusive rights to find and place top executives for senior or c-level positions, often with six-figure salaries and above.

Executive search is tailored for upper management and executive roles where quality and fit are paramount, while standard recruitment usually addresses temporary, entry-level, and middle-level positions.

• Consultation: we begin by investing time to thoroughly understand your hiring process and precisely define the job role requirements. This crucial step ensures our permanent search solution is perfectly aligned with your unique needs.

• Sourcing: leveraging our extensive market knowledge, we implement a bespoke sourcing strategy. This approach allows our permanent search solution to tap into a pool of high-calibre, passive candidates who are often inaccessible through traditional recruitment methods.

• Screening: every candidate is subjected to rigorous vetting, including an in-depth interview, multiple rounds of skill assessments and employment reference checks.

• Shortlist: Only after this comprehensive screening do we present you with a carefully curated shortlist of elite professionals along with detailed individual dossiers.

Executive search is most effective for critical hires. These roles are usually difficult to fill and often target passive candidates who aren’t actively looking for a new job.

We remain committed to working with you until the role is successfully filled, virtually ensuring a positive outcome and significantly reducing the risk of a mis-hire.

Retaining our services exclusively not only demonstrates your commitment as a client but also enables us to dedicate significant time, effort, and resources to sourcing the ideal candidate.

By investing in our premium retained search model, you’re not just filling a role – you’re securing a strategic partner dedicated to enhancing your leadership team.

We conduct confidential searches to protect your organisation’s sensitive information and maintain discretion throughout the recruitment process.

The split-fee structure reflects the high-level, bespoke nature of this service, balancing shared commitment with performance-based compensation.

Exclusive Retainer: An initial payment secures our undivided attention and resources. This upfront investment allows us to commit fully to your search, leveraging our expertise and networks to identify passive candidates who are not actively seeking new roles.

Success-Based Final Payment: The second part of the fee is only due upon successful placement of the chosen candidate. This model ensures our interests remain aligned with yours throughout the entire search process.

We charge 15-20% of the annual total compensation, depending on the role’s complexity and seniority. Our fee is structured as a retained search model, typically involving an upfront fee for exclusive search services. For specific pricing details tailored to your requirements, please contact us directly.

While we strive for excellence in every executive search, it’s important to acknowledge that no recruitment process can guarantee 100% success. The complex nature of executive roles and the human element involved mean that occasional mismatches can occur despite our best efforts.

However, we stand firmly behind the quality of our work. To provide our clients with peace of mind, we offer a replacement guarantee for all executive placements. If the candidate we recruit for you proves unsuitable or leaves within the first three months of employment, we commit to finding a replacement at no additional cost.

This guarantee reflects our confidence in our rigorous search process and our dedication to your long-term satisfaction. It’s part of our commitment to building lasting partnerships with our clients, ensuring that we’re invested in the success of every placement we make.

While we can’t promise perfection, we can assure you of our unwavering commitment to your success and our readiness to stand by our work.
