Career evidence
What the candidate personally changed, under what conditions and with what result.
Executive search
Find the leader the work actually needs.
We help boards, CEOs and founders make consequential appointments with a clearer brief, a wider market view and evidence that holds up when the decision gets difficult.
A search should do more than produce a shortlist.
It should help you define what the role must deliver, see the market properly and compare candidates against a stable standard. You see the field and the trade-offs as they develop, rather than receiving a finished answer at the end.
A search built with you, not presented to you.
Start with the work.
Translate the business context into a focused success profile and search strategy.
Role mandate and evidence standardLook beyond the obvious.
Research direct and adjacent markets, then calibrate a deliberately broad field with you.
Live market map and search hypothesesFollow the evidence.
Engage candidates and test capability, judgement, motivation, timing and constraints against the same work.
Evidence-led longlist and shortlistSay what we think.
Compare trade-offs candidly and support references, offer, close and transition.
Appointment recommendation and transition view
Assessment inside the search
Every serious candidate is assessed against the same work.
Leadership assessment is built into the search rather than added at the end. The depth changes with the mandate, but the standard stays consistent.
Structured interview
Competency-based assessment tied directly to the role-critical capabilities.
Psychometric depth
Validated measures where they improve the quality of a high-stakes appointment.
Judgement and risk
How the person reasons through ambiguity, pressure, stakeholders and unfamiliar problems.
Four ways to work together.
The scope can start narrow and deepen as the evidence develops. We stay close to the working team throughout.
Full search
End-to-end support from role definition and market mapping through assessment, references, offer and appointment.
Shortlist development
A focused, assessed shortlist when the brief or an initial market view already exists.
Qualified longlist
A researched and approached field with fit, motivation, timing and constraints made clear.
Finalist assessment
Deeper structured and psychometric evidence when a client-led process reaches its final decision.
A search often uncovers the next leadership question.
The role profile, market view and candidate evidence can keep working across assessment, succession and future appointments. We carry that context forward with you.
