Exceptional talent, hired with care
Executive Search
Executive hires shape strategy, culture, and results.
Our partner-led model keeps senior attention on what matters: sharpening the brief, calibrating the market, and engaging the right leaders with respect and discretion.
We map relevant companies and adjacent talent pools, then run targeted outreach — never mass blasts.
Assessment is structured yet human: evidence of impact, leadership behaviours, and role-specific must-haves.
Shortlists are concise, comparable, and defensible.
You’ll receive a one-page profile per candidate, a comparables view, and notes on strengths, risks, and motivation.
We handle references and offer management, maintaining momentum through weekly updates.
After acceptance, we stay close through pre-boarding to reduce fall-off risk.
Typical roles include C-level, Vice Presidents, and Directors across functions such as operations, commercial, finance, technology, and corporate leadership.
Talent Search
Specialist talent requires precision.
We start with outcomes — not just requirements — and define a realistic search radius.
From there, we build a focused target list and engage candidates one-to-one with context: why this role, why now, why your company.
We assess capability and fit, but also motivation and constraints — to avoid late-stage surprises.
You’ll receive a shortlist with clear comparables, notes, and interview focus areas.
Communication stays warm and consistent, so candidates stay engaged.
Typical roles include technical, operational, and professional specialists — from engineers and analysts to regulatory experts, scientists, and data professionals.

Outplacement
Transitions are sensitive.

Where appropriate, we make discreet introductions and support HR with program structure and communication.
Our emphasis is on dignity, momentum, and a positive landing — for both the individual and the brand.
Relocation
Recruiting globally only works when relocation is seamless.
We provide end-to-end support — from the initial feasibility assessment to practical arrangements and final settling in.
We coordinate with trusted local partners where needed, while keeping a single point of contact for both client and candidate.
Relocation includes work permits, housing guidance, spousal support, and cultural onboarding.
The goal is retention — ensuring international hires integrate successfully and stay.
Our track record, particularly within life sciences, includes relocating senior leaders and scarce specialists across Europe and beyond.
We treat relocation as an integral part of the search — never an afterthought.
