| Upfront fee | Part of the fee before candidates are presented | None |

Retained firms usually take part of their fee before you see a candidate. We don’t. You get the full search, and a fee is due only when you hire someone we introduce.
Everything we offer. None of the risk.
Contingency doesn’t mean a lighter search. Every permanent search gets the same four steps: intake, direct recruitment, assessment, and a small vetted slate with counsel through the offer.
We want you to love who we bring you. That’s the only time we’re paid.
