How do your fees work?
Executive search is retained and billed in three stages: on engagement, on shortlist and on appointment, usually a third of first-year cash. Specialist roles can be engaged or on success. Interim is a margin on the day rate. Every proposal states the total before you sign.
Do you work exclusively?
What happens if a placement does not work out?
Can you hire outside London and New York?
How do you approach diversity?
Hiring a senior leader, or thinking about your next move? Either way, you speak to a partner on the first call.
Or book a consultation with a partner.
