Do you offer contingency search?
No. Our model depends on early exclusivity and deep reference work that contingency cannot fund.
What is the guarantee?
If a placed executive leaves within 12 months for non-performance, we restart the search at no additional professional fee.
Are expenses capped?
Yes—travel and assessment vendors are pre-approved with a monthly cap in your letter.
