— the two of us

Our approach

A network, built differently.

We’re former colleagues turned best friends, now business partners, running a search firm the way we always wished search firms worked. Relationship-first, hands-on, and genuinely invested in the outcome, not just the close.

That means acting as a strategic hiring partner to founders and lean teams as they scale. We get close to the mandate, the team, and the culture before a single candidate is sourced because finding the right fit, and one that lasts, is the whole point.

Retained

Dedicated & prioritized

A dedicated search built around your needs and timeline, with priority access to our time and attention from day one.

Contingent

Flexible, no retainer

The same hands-on process with more flexibility. We source against your open role, and you pay only when we make a placement.
