What to tell us
A short note is enough. We will ask the rest on a call.
- The title and why the seat is open
- Company size, ownership and location
- Who the person reports to and who reports to them
- Systems, close timeline and any special projects
- Pay range if you have one, and your timing
What happens next
We read your request and reply to set up a calibration call. You can also book a time yourself with the button below the form.
There is no fee unless you hire a candidate we present.
What should you send or read next?
Describe the opening as work that needs to get done. If you need a controller, say who signs off on the close and who speaks with the outside accountant. If you need a lender, explain the market and the type of relationships the person must build. A title alone leaves too much room for different interpretations. We use the first conversation to separate what the hire must already know from what your team can teach after the move.
Give us the reporting line and work location. An on-site accounting seat beside the warehouse is different from a finance role that can work remotely. A lending appointment may depend on local relationships even when some administrative work is flexible. Let us know whether relocation is a real option. We should discuss those conditions before approaching someone who would need to change a commute or move a household.
Confidential searches need a separate discussion about who can know what. Tell us if the current employee is still in the seat. We can then agree how the company is described in early contact and when its name may be disclosed. Do not upload confidential material simply because an upload field is available. Share only what you are authorized to provide and use the notes field to explain any restrictions.
Permanent contingency placement is the starting point. If your request is for defined cover, describe the work and why the need ends. Contract and temp-to-perm requests are considered separately, with terms agreed for that engagement. Submitting the brief is not acceptance of a rate or a staffing arrangement. We review the request, discuss the fit and use signed terms for an agreed search.

How your search runs
How does The Six-Step Search work?
One sequence, from a well-defined seat to a shortlist you can judge.
Search Calibration
We start with a call about the seat, the books, the owners and the people the hire will work with. We learn what the role must fix in the first year and what would make a candidate wrong even if the resume looks right.
You get: A written search brief: scope, must-haves, deal-breakers and the pay range, agreed with you.
Market Mapping
We map the companies and institutions where the right people already work: similar size, similar ownership, similar complexity, in your market and in others.
You get: The target list of companies and institutions we will search, reviewed with you before outreach.
Professional Contact Intelligence
We find direct ways to reach the people on the map. Most are employed and not reading job boards, so reaching them takes real research.
You get: Direct routes to people who are not on job boards, researched for your search.
Persistent Personalized Outreach
We call and write to people individually and follow up. Interest varies, so we discuss the actual opportunity rather than promising a particular response.
You get: One-to-one conversations about your actual role, followed up, never a mass email blast.
Live Candidate Qualification
We speak with every candidate before you do. We check scope, systems, reporting lines, compensation expectations, location and why they would move.
You get: Only candidates we have spoken with, checked on scope, systems, pay, location and motive.
Candidate Intelligence and Process Support
You receive a short written brief on each finalist covering what they have done, where they are thin and what they want. Then we help with interviews, references and the offer.
You get: A short written brief on each finalist, plus help with interviews, references, counteroffer risk and the offer.
We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.
Questions people ask
Is there a cost to submit?
No upfront fee. You pay only if you hire.
Is there a guarantee?
We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.
How soon will I see a finance shortlist?
It depends on the seat, the location and the pay. We give you an honest read after the calibration call and we do not promise dates we cannot control.
What about counteroffers on a finance hire?
We ask every finance candidate early why they would move and what their employer might do to keep them. Counteroffer risk goes in the written brief before you make an offer.
What don't you do?
We do not post your finance job and forward whoever applies. We do not send stacks of unscreened resumes, and we do not recruit outside accounting, finance, banking and insurance.
