Our Retained Search Process

Once we have connected, your dedicated search team will partner with you through an intake meeting to construct an in-depth profile of the role requirements. This includes key responsibilities, critical skills, education, and company/team culture. This profile will enable us to identify effectively and efficiently recruit, screen, vet, present, and place candidates.
