How a search runs here.

A fusion of judgement
and technology.

We do not believe in choosing between one and the other. The future of search is both.

Every search we run has two halves: consultant craft, and the AI systems underneath it that make sure nothing is missed.

Both are pointed at the same thing, which is your hire being right. We have spent ten years building that method, most of them before the technology existed to help.

Scopes the role with you.

Knows who is quietly looking.

Decides who is worth your time.

Remembers who said no, and why.

Our consultants thread a search together: the founders, the investors, the candidates, and a process that has to hold all three in the same conversation. That part is done by hand.

Our platform stands behind them — specialist research, talent operations and AI support — so every search has the breadth, the depth and the speed we expect of it.

Building the map

We finish the map before we make the first call.

Every needle in the haystack identified.

In scope On brief Target list
  1. 01 Set the search strategy Which market segments to target, settled by a consultant at the start of your search.
  2. 02 Analyse company contexts with agents Agents read every company in those segments: stage, size, trajectory, what changed and when. Our researchers decide what the reading means.
  3. 03 Capture the whole talent pool Everyone inside the companies we selected, both past and present. Then, the signals that separate them, as chosen for the brief.
  4. 04 Define the target list The executives worth an approach, scored by the platform and then decided on by our researchers and consultants.
