Strategic <span class="green-accent">Partnerships</span> for Exceptional Executive Searches

Retained search is distinct in its focus on mid-level positions that present specific challenges, such as niche skill sets or roles in challenging locations. While executive search is more targeted towards senior-level roles like C-suite and directors, involving a more in-depth assessment process, both retained and executive searches are highly tailored. Retained search is especially useful for confidential hires, offering a dedicated approach to meet these unique demands.

Our retained search process involves an in-depth client briefing, extensive market research, personalised candidate approaches, thorough interviews and assessments, regular client updates, and assistance in final selection and onboarding.

While we specialise in the fresh produce industry, our retained search service is versatile, addressing mid-level positions across various functions such as operations, technical roles, sales, marketing, HR, and finance.

Our global reach and deep industry knowledge enable us to tackle placements in challenging or remote locations effectively, ensuring we find the right talent regardless of geographic constraints.

Our fee structure for retained search services is based on the scope and complexity of the search. We recommend scheduling a consultation for detailed and personalised information.
