Frequently asked questions
How long does an executive search take?
Between eight to fourteen weeks from kickoff to signed acceptance. We run a mapped-market search rather than a pure network reach, which adds time but improves quality of outcome.
Do you sign non-disclosure agreements?
Yes, on either side. Most of our executive searches are confidential and we will agree the disclosure protocol at the kickoff meeting.
How do you map a market?
We build the company universe, the relevant functions inside it, and the named individuals we believe are credible. We share the methodology and the source notes as part of the long-list.
What is the typical fee?
Fees are confirmed in writing before starting a search and are usually a percentage of the total compensation package. [RATES: business to confirm published rates.]
