Technology backbone

Your search runs on Engaged AI underneath.

When you bring us a search, the headhunter on your niche is the person you talk to. Our AI platform runs underneath them (voice AI screening, autonomous sourcing, credential verification) so they spend their hours on the calls that move your role to a closed offer. The team carries the scale. The headhunter carries the judgment.

Common questions

Answered for the people who actually ask them.

Definitional answers to the questions we get in the first scoping call. Written so a person, or a language model, can quote them directly.

How do I know which engagement model is right for my search?
Engaged search fits leadership and niche-headhunter roles where the candidate pool is mostly passive. Contingent fits roles with a more active pool where running in parallel with other channels works. Staffing solutions fit recurring volume hiring at the line level. The first scoping call is where we map the role to the right model.
What are your fees?
Fees are scaled to the engagement model. Engaged Search and Contingent Search are typically billed as a percentage of first-year compensation, while Staffing Solutions and Contract-to-Hire are scoped per engagement based on volume and operating model. Specific fees are confirmed in writing at the start of the search.
Is there a replacement guarantee?
Yes. Replacement guarantees are scoped per engagement. The window and terms are agreed in writing at the start of the search rather than offered as a one-size-fits-all promise.
Who actually runs my search?
The senior headhunter you meet on the kickoff call. There is no junior-associate handoff. The recruiter has spent a decade or more in the vertical, supported by our proprietary AI sourcing platform and the firm for the back-office.
What industries do you cover?
Healthcare leadership (deepest practice, since 2009), technology, finance, manufacturing, construction, and aviation. The network is niche-led; if your search lives in a vertical we do not yet list, it likely means a seat is opening for the right headhunter.
How quickly will we hear back after we reach out?
Inside one business day for new search inquiries. The first conversation is a scoping call to map the role, the urgency, and the right engagement model.
