Your strategic talent partnership:

Dedicated expertise, bespoke processes, and full attention to deliver the right candidates faster, smarter, and with guaranteed focus.

Partner for Precision, Priority, and Performance

For organisations with critical, hard-to-fill, or strategic roles, retained search provides:

  • Dedicated Focus: Your search is our top priority, backed by a committed team working exclusively for your mandate.
  • Faster, Smarter Hiring: Structured, milestone-driven process ensures speed without compromise on quality.
  • Strategic Partnership: Beyond filling roles, we advise on market benchmarking, talent mapping, and long-term recruitment strategy.
  • Predictable, Transparent Process: Upfront down payment secures resource allocation and guarantees progress at every stage.

With an upfront down payment, we commit dedicated expertise, bespoke processes, and full attention to deliver the right candidates faster, smarter, and with guaranteed focus. Build a partnership with our team to secure the talent that drives your organisation forward.

The process:

We start by understanding your business, culture, and objectives. Through consultative discussions and psychometric profiling, we define exactly what success looks like for the role.

Using our global networks, research capability, and cutting-edge sourcing technology, we identify and engage the very best active and passive candidates; those you won’t find through standard channels.

Every candidate undergoes a multi-stage evaluation: competency-based interviews, technical skill assessments, and culture alignment analysis. Only those who meet your bespoke criteria proceed.

We manage the full process from candidate engagement to offer management and onboarding support. You receive regular briefings, progress reports, and market insights, ensuring transparency and control at every stage.

Every retained search is handled with the utmost discretion and professionalism. Depending on your requirements, we run market-branded or co-branded campaigns, maintaining complete confidentiality for sensitive or high-profile roles.

Our process combines targeted outreach, precision talent mapping, and proactive engagement to ensure only the most suitable candidates are approached discreetly, efficiently, and in alignment with your organisation’s values and brand.

Retained search is ideal for:

  • Hard-to-fill specialist or executive roles
  • Critical hires where speed and quality are essential
  • Organisations seeking a strategic recruitment partnership
  • Clients wanting full insight, control, and guaranteed progress

The retained model ensures that your search is proactive, personalised, and results-driven, far more than traditional recruitment.

 

  • Down Payment: Secures dedicated search resources and demonstrates mutual commitment
  • Milestone-Driven: Clear stages and deadlines to keep your search on track
  • Regular Collaboration: Transparent briefings, candidate updates, and strategic recommendations
  • Full-Service Support: From candidate profiling to onboarding guidance
