Contingency Search
A responsive solution for clearly scoped, time-sensitive mandates.
When speed and access are priorities, we run targeted outreach campaigns within our network and curated talent pools. This model is designed for clients who need execution-ready candidates and a streamlined process – without sacrificing quality.
A responsive, high-velocity solution for second-in-command search.
We support clients with clearly defined needs who require fast access to high-caliber talent. Our contingency model leverages targeted outreach, pre-qualified talent pools, and real-time market data to deliver execution-ready candidates at pace – without the overhead of a full retained process.
Through focused calibration and streamlined delivery, we help clients quickly benchmark talent, test role assumptions, and drive hiring momentum. The process is fast, but never shallow – with rigour applied where it counts: fit, context, and readiness to lead from day one.
Over a decade of experience leading senior searches across listed businesses, private equity-backed firms, and privately held companies.
We have placed leaders into a wide range of operating environments, and we understand how the shape of a role shifts with ownership structure, scale, and internal dynamics. No two COO or Chief of Staff mandates are the same – each requires careful definition, precise alignment, and a tailored approach.
Context-Driven Processes
Every mandate is shaped by its own context – ownership model, internal structure, leadership dynamics, and the specific challenges facing the business.
Our process is built to surface those variables early, translate them into a structured success profile, and run a search that’s aligned to both the role and the environment it operates within.
We ask better questions up front, so our clients make better hiring decisions at the end.
