Which route should I choose if I am not sure?

Choose "Discuss a Search Mandate" and select "not sure" for the engagement model. We will recommend Proof-First, retained, talent mapping, interim or another route after reviewing the role.

How quickly do you respond?

The first reply is human and substantive, normally within one working day.

Can you handle confidential searches?

Yes. We can restrict disclosure, limit internal visibility, anonymize the opportunity during early outreach and manage candidate information on a need-to-know basis.

Do you work with candidates and clients through the same form?

No. Candidate profiles and client mandate briefs should remain separate. Candidate registration is handled through the profile route.

Do you work internationally?

Yes. Cross-border work is one of our core strengths. Our hubs in Turin, Nicosia, Almaty and New York support searches across Europe, Central Asia, the Mediterranean, Middle East, Asia-facing markets and North America.

Frequently asked

Questions before you reach out

How quickly does a senior consultant reply to a brief?

Every brief gets a concrete reply within one working day. The reply will either recommend an engagement model (Proof-First, retained, or talent mapping) and propose a discovery call, or honestly decline if the mandate is not a fit for our approach.

What if I am evaluating you rather than ready to brief?

Use the "Speak with us" route. A 30-minute call with a senior consultant is right for vendor-selection processes, RFP preparation, comparing engagement models, or scoping a longer-term partnership. No form, no commitment.

Is candidate registration handled separately from client mandates?

Yes. Candidate registrations go through a confidential intake separate from client mandate forms. We engage only when a real mandate fits your trajectory, compensation envelope, geography, and timing.

Do you support confidential or replacement searches?

Yes. Confidential mandates run through the same intake as standard mandates; the difference is in candidate-facing communication. Mention it in the brief or on the call and we will adjust the search architecture accordingly.

Do you work with PE-backed companies?

Frequently. PE-backed mandates often need higher tempo, transaction-readiness language, and value-creation alignment with the sponsor. A senior consultant familiar with the sponsor model will be assigned.
