The real retention model.

Sustainable growth starts with your leadership team.


This is a phrase we hone in on to emphasis the importance of having the right people in the right roles, especially as you get further up the chain of command.


Attrition at any level causes issues and develops strain within a team / business environment, but when your leadership team or board of directors begin to move on, it can often cause a ripple effect in the business as well as drastically increase the workload for you and your most valued employees. So wouldn’t you agree it’s important to focus on retention right from the outset through enhancing recruitment processes?


Our Executive Search division are passionate about delivering against our retention model that so many agencies overpromise on. What does this mean for you?


  • Upfront consultancy to ensure the role on offer is attractive with the best chance of securing top talent
  • 6 – 12 month rebate periods with retained campaigns
  • Support on developing interview and assessment techniques
  • 3 monthly employee reviews for the first 12 months with placed employees


We’re committed to delivering on our partner promise and work to remove as many obsticles as possible in the recruitment process.

Want us to go that step further? Our team of experts can support with or fully facilitate employee engagement workshops centered around feedback and benefits benchmarking in your business.
