Search
Executive search for the physical economy
For companies in AI, aerospace, defense, energy, robotics and advanced manufacturing, seed through Series C, hiring the seat that the build plan depends on.
Leadership search
Retained search for VP and director roles.
Contingency, replaced by: Engaged search
A small non-refundable retainer credited against the fee, with exclusivity.
Engaged search sits between retained and contingency. You pay a small non-refundable fee at the start, it is credited in full against the placement fee, and in exchange the search is exclusive. If I place the person it costs exactly what a contingency search would have. The fee exists so neither of us is competing with three other firms on the same role.
