Salary, training, onboarding, executive search fees. We understand the cost of hiring. Not to mention the hidden costs of a bad hire if something does go wrong.

All too often, Private Equity firms are made to accept this loss.

We weren't happy with this, so we set out to change it. Hiring for your firm shouldn't be a risk

That's why we're de-risking executive search for all our clients, with our full money back guarantee and free candidate replacement service.
