Book a strategy call

Before a candidate returns the call, they open a profile that says only Partner.

We keep your search partners visible on LinkedIn every business day, so CEOs, boards, and senior candidates know them before the first call.

The partner is the product, so the partner gets searched

In retained search, every shortlisted candidate and every client checks the name on the mandate.

  • A board chair compares three firms

    All three have a sector practice and a slate process. The one whose partner writes about the market looks like the one who knows it.

  • A senior candidate gets a call from a name they do not know

    They open the profile before they reply. A headline that only says Partner leaves them guessing, so many of them let it go.

  • The research team is invisible

    Associates and researchers do most of the outreach and none of their work shows. Candidates see the cold message, but nobody sees the people behind it.

  • Slow stretches go quiet

    Between mandates the feed stops, and by the next CEO search the profile is old.

What shows up when a CEO searches your partner

Step 1Your name comes upAn introduction, an RFP, a conference, or a search
Step 2They look your leaders upOn LinkedIn, before the meeting

ResultYour leaders are known before the meeting
A CEO weighing a mandate and a candidate weighing a call both search the partner. Recent views on a sector's talent market, plus comments on the posts of CHROs and board members, show a partner who belongs to that world. A bare title shows someone who may only know it from a database.

Keeping a search partner's name in front of the market

Quiet reception room with a cream sofa, a wood bench, two plants and a plain white wall

Our people post, comment, and send connection requests in each partner's voice every business day, so clients and senior candidates in your sectors see them all the time. A post goes to the partner before it publishes, and after 48 hours without a reply it goes out as written.

We handle the daily work and the inbox. Your market decides who calls, and the partner sees every action.

  • Partner profiles that say which sectors and levels they search
  • Weekly views on hiring and leadership transitions in those sectors
  • Comments on posts by CEOs, CHROs, board members, and private equity operating partners
  • Introductions of new partners and associates by name
  • Candidate and client messages sorted, with real ones passed to the partner in one business day

What a search partner can say about the market

Market views with no candidate names, no client names, and no live search detail.

  • What a board should settle before it starts a CEO search
  • How a retained search differs from a contingent one, in plain words
  • Leadership transitions in a sector, when they are already public
  • What senior candidates ask in a first conversation with a search firm
  • How succession planning works for a founder-led company
  • Compensation themes, kept general and with no figures
  • Notes from AESC, SHRM, and sector association events
  • Comments on posts by CHROs, board members, and CEOs
  • 12posts a month for each partner, in their own voice
  • 10comments a business day on posts by CEOs, CHROs, and board members
  • 160new connection requests a month to the clients and candidates you pick
  • 1business day to pass a real message to the partner

Search firms that should call us, and ones that shouldn't

A good fit

  • Retained search firms with two or more partners who lead sector practices
  • Partners trusted by clients and little seen outside them
  • Firms that want candidates to recognize the name that calls
  • Partners who will give 15 minutes a week to approve posts

Probably not a fit

  • Contingent shops that work on volume
  • Firms that cannot talk about their market without naming a client
  • Partners who want a hands-off feed with no review

Questions from search partners

How do you protect searches under confidentiality?

We never name a candidate, a client, or a live search. Posts stay on the market, the practice, and the partner's point of view.

Will you contact candidates for us?

Our outreach goes to the clients, board members, and peers you pick. We do not source or recruit candidates, and the researchers keep that work.

What about off-limits agreements?

Tell us which companies are off limits and we keep them out of posts, comments, and connection requests.

Can associates and researchers be covered?

Yes. Many firms start with two partners and add senior associates once the first two are running.
