Most searches begin by mapping the market — identifying companies, building a candidate pool, and figuring out where the right talent sits.
Because we focus exclusively on accounting and finance within select markets, every search begins with relationships — not resumes. We already understand the terrain: compensation realities, leadership transitions, and the motivations that drive movement.
That starting position allows us to identify interview-ready candidates in a median of 3.7 days, with 75% delivered within 9 days.
More importantly, those candidates are not coming from inbound response. Over the last 24 months, only 6.5% of our placements originated from inbound applicants, while more than 93% were sourced through direct market engagement.
Starting with the right candidates changes the entire trajectory of the search. Our placements involve an average of 4 interviewed candidates, meaning clients evaluate a small, highly targeted group rather than large applicant pools.
Because alignment is established early, outcomes at the offer stage are highly predictable. Over 93% of candidates we take to offer ultimately accept.
The result is not just speed, but consistency. Our placements reach completion in a median of 38 days, with 75% completed within 71 days—well inside typical executive search timelines, which often extend 90–120 days or longer.
