Our Services

We don't fill roles.
We build leadership teams.

Every engagement starts with a conversation about what you actually need — not what's in the job description. We scope, source, shortlist, and close. End to end, with full transparency throughout.

Start a conversation

From first call to closed offer — typically 6 weeks.

We follow a structured process on every search. No guessing, no waiting for updates, no recycled candidate pools.

Week 1

Role scoping

We align every stakeholder on what success looks like in year one. Not just the job description — the decision-making authority, team dynamics, first 90-day priorities, and what failure looks like. Searches stall here when this work is skipped.

Week 2–3

Market mapping

We identify who's right, who's moving, and who's genuinely open to a conversation. We reach out directly — not through job postings. Every candidate is pre-qualified before they appear on your shortlist.

Week 3–5

Precision shortlist

You receive 4–6 candidates. Each one comes with a written recommendation — why they're right for this role, this team, and this moment. You interview, not screen. We never send a profile we can't defend.

Week 5–6

Close & handoff

We manage candidate experience through offer and acceptance. Weekly updates throughout. Most searches close within 6 weeks — and in exceptional cases we've closed in 2–3 weeks when urgency demands it. We flag risks early so nothing catches you off guard.

Three engagement models — one standard of work.

We tailor every engagement to what you actually need. Some clients need a full search. Others need help defining the role before they search for it. Some need both.

Most common

Executive Search

Full-cycle search for Director, VP, and Head-level roles. We own the process end to end — scoping, sourcing, shortlisting, managing candidate experience, and closing. You stay in the decision seat. We handle everything else.

Starting point

Role Definition & Strategy

Not sure exactly what you need? We run a structured scoping engagement before any search begins — stakeholder interviews, market benchmarking, success criteria definition, and hiring process design. Prevents the most common reason searches fail.

Add-on or standalone

Market Intelligence

Before you open a search or make an offer — know what the market looks like. Compensation benchmarks, talent availability by geography, competitor hiring activity, and what candidates at this level are actually looking for right now.

We work best with organizations that are scaling — not just hiring.

Our clients are typically going through a period of significant technology transformation. They need leaders who can build, not just manage.

Healthcare Technology

Scaling cloud and data platforms, building interoperability leadership, and hiring engineering heads who understand regulatory complexity.

Enterprise SaaS

Cloud infrastructure and platform leadership for companies modernizing legacy architecture or expanding multi-cloud capability.

High-Growth Startups

Supporting leadership hiring as teams scale and build core capabilities.

Global Tech Organizations

US, Canada, Europe, and APAC leadership searches for organizations expanding their technology footprint across regions.

Specific things we do that most search firms don't.

Not claims — practices. These are the specific ways we run searches differently, and why they lead to faster closes and better outcomes.

Candidate evaluation

We evaluate for leadership — not tools

Most firms match resumes to keywords. We assess decision-making under ambiguity, stakeholder management style, execution at scale, and team-building track record. That's what determines whether a VP of Engineering will succeed — not their AWS certification.

Shortlist standard

4–6 candidates. Every search. No exceptions.

We commit to this before we start. If we can't find 4 genuinely right candidates, we tell you before we go to market — not after 8 weeks. Every candidate on our shortlist has been spoken to, is aware of the role, and has indicated real interest.

Transparency

You hear what candidates are actually saying

We share candidate feedback, market signals, and comp expectations in real time — including when they're not what you want to hear. Decisions made on accurate information lead to hires that last.

"Fatema was able to look at my background on LinkedIn and found a position that I was a great fit for. It only took a few short weeks from meeting Fatema that I had an offer. This was at a time when I wasn't actively looking — and was being extremely selective with which recruiters I'd speak to. Her outreach caught my attention immediately because she clearly outlined why this would be a great fit."
