Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does a contingent search work?

You only pay if we successfully place a candidate. We run targeted headhunting and deliver a vetted shortlist aligned to your requirements.

Timelines depend on role scope and market conditions. After the discovery call, we confirm an outreach plan and expected shortlist window.

We lead with proactive headhunting to reach the correct profile, not just applicants.

We screen for working style, stakeholder approach, decision-making, and role-specific scenarios, then provide structured notes with each candidate.

We run searches discreetly, align on messaging, and share candidate details only within the agreed hiring group.

If a placement does not work out within the defined coverage window, we replace according to the agreed terms.
