What We Do

The model follows the need.

Search, Build, or Embed — we start by understanding what you’re trying to accomplish and choose the recruiting model that fits.

01 — How we choose

The model comes last

01
DiagnoseHiring plan, market, internal capacity, and what is blocking the roadmap.
02
ConsultLevel, scope, comp and sequence.
03
RecruitThe model that fits, run with executive-search rigor.

02 — Search

Search

For the hire that changes the trajectory.

Dedicated search for critical individual hires: technical executives, engineering and product leaders, data and AI leaders, and high-impact individual contributors.

When it’s the right model

A leadership or senior IC role your roadmap depends on

A stalled search where the brief itself may be the problem

A confidential or first-of-its-kind hire with no internal playbook

The engagement

Shape: Retained or exclusive search
You work with: A senior search lead
Outcome: The hire your roadmap depends on

03 — Build

Build

For a hiring initiative with a deadline.

A scoped program to build part of a team, from several engineers to a data function, tied to a specific growth objective and delivered in a fixed window.

Not a series of individual searches.

When it’s the right model

A new team or function tied to a specific initiative

A funded roadmap that needs multiple hires in sequence

A deadline that a role-by-role approach cannot meet

The engagement

Shape: Scoped program, fixed window
You work with: A dedicated recruiting team
Outcome: The team built against the plan

04 — Embed

Embed

For companies that need capability, not a search.

Recruiting capacity working inside your organization, on your tools and processes, for companies hiring continuously without a full in-house function.

Integrated recruiting capacity, not another individual search.

When it’s the right model

Continuous hiring across several teams at once

No in-house recruiting function, or one at capacity

A hiring engine you want running inside your own process

The engagement

Shape: Embedded recruiting capacity, monthly
You work with: Recruiters integrated with your team
Outcome: Ongoing recruiting capacity inside your team
