RETAINED SEARCH

We offer Retained Search, a premium and highly strategic recruitment service designed for businesses seeking to secure top-tier senior professionals. Unlike contingency recruitment, retained search involves a dedicated partnership where we commit our expertise, resources, and market insight to identify, attract, and place the best talent for your organisation.

How Retained Search Works

  • Exclusive Partnership
    Retained search is a collaborative process where we work exclusively with your business to fill a critical role. This allows us to provide a focused, in-depth, and highly tailored recruitment solution.

    We conduct extensive market research and competitor analysis to identify the strongest candidates—both active and passive—ensuring access to the highest calibre professionals in the industry.
  • Proactive Headhunting & Engagement
    Unlike traditional recruitment methods, retained search involves direct and discreet outreach to industry leaders, ensuring you secure the best-fit talent, even those not actively job-seeking.
  • Rigorous Assessment & Shortlisting
    Each candidate undergoes a thorough evaluation, including skills assessment, competency-based interviews, and cultural alignment analysis, before we present a carefully curated shortlist.
