Some roles need more than a job posting.
The right candidate may not be actively looking. For critical or hard to fill roles, a more targeted search can help you reach experienced candidates who aren't applying to traditional postings.
Our retained search team manages the process from search strategy and proactive sourcing through assessment, selection and offer.
Our rates start at just 18% of annual salary and include a minimum 3-month replacement guarantee.

How Retained Search Works
1. DEFINE
We get clear on the role, business, team, and what success actually looks like short-term and long-term.
2. SEARCH
We proactively identify, approach and assess candidates, including those that aren't job searching.
3. SELECT
We present qualified candidates and support interviews, assessments and final selection.
4. CLOSE
We support the offer, negotiation and candidate transition through to hire (including their first day).
What Makes Us Different
Is Retained Search Right for You?
You get access to our entire network - and that's powerful.
BUSINESS FIRST
We learn the business and what success in the role actually requires, not just the job description.
PROACTIVE SEARCH
We actively source and approach candidates instead of relying only on applicants.
EXPERIENCED TEAM
Experienced recruiters & HR professionals assess both capability and fit throughout the search.
It might be a good fit when...
✓ The role you're posting is confidential.
✓ The role is critical to your business.
✓ You need specialized or hard-to-find experience.
✓You don't have internal capacity to run a targeted search.
✓The right candidates may not be actively looking.
