Specialist Recruitment & Executive Search for Complex, High-Stakes Roles
For over two decades, we've specialised in the recruitment challenges that conventional agencies struggle with. While others chase volume, we focus on the complex, high-stakes placements that can make or break organisational success.
Our approach is built on the simple premise: when the stakes are highest and time is shortest, you need specialists who understand both technical requirements and the strategic context. That's what we deliver.
What Makes Us Different
Proven Success - Our fill rate is 2x the industry average, so your critical hire is far more likely to succeed with us.
Retention That Sticks - 95% of our placements stay beyond their guarantee period, reducing costly turnover and risk for you.
Relation Capital - Our consultants don't just bring tenure, but
Enterprise-Trusted - We've never been removed from a panel.
Delivering Outcomes, Not Just Resumes
Capable of Complexity
We specialize in the searches others find too difficult - interim executives for urgent situations, niche technical leaders for transformation programs, and senior hires for highly regulated environments.
Outcomes, Not Output
