- Where we work
Recruitment is not just about filling a position. It's about getting the fit right.
Every organisation has different priorities, structures and expectations.
A growing startup may need someone who can build processes from scratch. A founder may need a strategic business partner. A healthcare organisation may need specialised talent with a specific understanding of its operating environment.
We begin by understanding the requirement rather than assuming a standard hiring model.
We work on mandates where we can bring the relevant expertise, network and capability to deliver value.

No. Executive Office hiring is one of our specialist areas, but our Talent Partnership offering is broader. We consider recruitment and talent mandates across different roles and functions based on the client's requirements and our expertise.
Our current focus includes healthcare, startups and high-growth businesses. We also consider mandates across other sectors based on the nature of the role and our capabilities.
Yes. We can discuss role definition and talent strategy requirements separately, depending on the scope of the engagement.
We begin by understanding the requirement, agree on the scope and candidate profile, identify relevant talent, and support the selection process based on the agreed mandate.
