What if we find someone ourselves during your engagement?

20 August 2026

Great. The objective is to find the right person, not argue about where they came from.

If somebody applies directly, comes through your network or is already known to the business during the search, simply introduce them into the process.

We’ll assess them alongside everyone we’ve identified using the same criteria and Fitability® methodology.

If you decide to appoint them directly without putting them through our process, that’s absolutely your choice. As we’ll already have committed significant time and resource to the search, the retainer paid up to that point would be non-refundable.

Ultimately, the important thing is that you find the right person for the business.

Whether you're ready to recruit today or simply
thinking ahead, let's have a conversation.
