A different kind of commitment
One partner. One process. Clear accountability.
Committed Search combines the rigour and exclusivity of retained executive search with a transparent milestone-based fee. Rather than a race between agencies, you receive a planned, documented search with consistent communication and direct ownership of delivery.

A minimum of three qualified, interviewed and interested candidates presented within a target of 3–4 weeks, subject to the brief and market conditions.
03 / Offer acceptance5%
Your chosen candidate accepts a written offer. We continue supporting the transition through their start date.
The introductory 15% rate applies to a new client's first three searches only. Fees are calculated on first-year base salary, excluding bonus, commission, OTE and equity. Engagement payment is due within 14 days and before work begins; subsequent milestone invoices are payable within 30 days. Shortlist timing is a target, subject to the agreed brief and market conditions. Terms apply.
