Stage four · 04
Stay accountable.
One search, one owner, from first market map through referencing, offer and start.
Offer through first quarter.
The person who took the brief runs the search and is still on the phone the week they start.
We handle referencing with people who actually worked alongside them, manage the offer, and stay across the resignation window when the counter-offer lands.
After the start we check in at 30, 60 and 90 days. If it does not hold, we go again.
What you get
- Referencing with named peers and past reporting lines
- Offer management and resignation support
- 30, 60 and 90 day check-ins with both sides
- Replacement search if the appointment does not hold
Your part in it
- Move at offer stage. Verbal to paper inside days, not weeks.
- Give us the honest package ceiling. Surprises at offer stage are where searches die.
What you see
- Reference summaries from people who stood next to them on a tower, not HR lines.
- A resignation plan for the candidate — the counter-offer is expected, not feared.
- Check-in notes at 30, 60 and 90 days, from both sides.
If it does not work
If the appointment does not hold inside the first quarter, we run the replacement search. That is the point of retained: the outcome is ours to stand behind.
