The Search Firm For Capital Markets.
We are not incentivised to place. We are incentivised to be right. That means we tell clients when compensation is misaligned with the talent they need, we tell candidates when a role isn't what they think it is, and we walk away from searches that don't have the conditions to succeed.
This costs us fees. It is also why people call us back.
The most important hires in electronic markets happen in private.
We handle those.
The most sough after talent may not be replying to your messages, and they are not talking to your generalist recruiter. They move through trust, timing, and private networks. Most search firms don't have access to those networks. The ones that do treat you as a small client and delegate your search down the chain.
We do neither.
