Retained Search

Direct Retention is a Pay-for-Performance Retained Search model that focuses on sourcing, acquiring, assessing, delivering, and retaining hard to find Senior Level Executives and other key professionals who are vital to the success of your company.

Direct Retention was designed to enable organizations to hire the best executive talent with confidence and limited financial risk.

How can we do this?

We know the pressure you’re under to find the right leaders and will only present those candidates who are the best fit and have been fully vetted by us and our independent consultants. Our independent specialists do their best to ensure a smooth transition for both the candidate and client alike. Their areas of expertise include:

• Skills and cultural assessments backed by science and analytics
• Compensation studies to ensure offers and benefits packages extended to candidates are competitive. In addition, assisting clients with creating a package that candidates would find acceptable
• Legal support to establish whether the best candidates are under any enforceable contractual, statutory, or common law restrictions from their last employer
• Relocation assistance and consulting to ensure a smooth onboarding and transition

No other executive search firm approaches our level of service or retention guarantee, without contingencies, on top of our 35-year history as being a leader in executive search.

We are more than just retained executive recruiters; we are hiring and retention specialists for companies that are looking for impactful executives.
