Common questions
What clients ask before they engage us
- How does professional search differ from executive search?
- The method is the same — mapped research, structured assessment, written coverage reporting. The roles sit one or two levels below the C-suite, so timelines are usually shorter and fees are structured accordingly.
- Can you deliver several hires at once?
- Yes. Team build and multi-hire programmes are run as a single mapped project with shared assessment standards so the hires fit together, not just individually.
