One executive. One mandate. Ninety days of the research, mapping, relationship work, and market activity that companies retain search firms to do — pointed at your market, on your behalf, confidentially.
The foundation a retained search firm builds around a mandate, built around you:
You see all of it — the working record, not a summary.
Active market work begins only when nine conditions are true — and you approve the ones that carry your name. Only when the foundation is complete does active market work begin.
Activate search professionals, your network, and champions. Work decision‑makers, Talent Acquisition, and companies deliberately. Prepare every conversation, evaluate every opportunity, and support the offer. Then decide — stay, move, or keep building. We guarantee the work we control, not the market.
The engagement is $25,000. It's $10,000 to engage. The remaining $15,000 is due at Market Activation.
Market Activation is reached when the nine readiness conditions are complete — it is a state of the work, not a day on the calendar.
“If after 15 days you don't believe the intelligence, market coverage, and strategy we've built materially improves what you had before we started, I'll refund your initial $10,000.”
We take a limited number of engagements, and we decline more than we accept. Representation fits an executive who is:
“Would I introduce this executive to a relationship I value?”
That is the final qualification standard. For both of us.
