why search fails

Most Senior Hires Don't Fail on Paper

They fail six months in — when a résumé that looked perfect meets a market, a team, and a culture it was never tested against. Cross-border roles fail this way most often.

Résumé-First Screening

Credentials don't predict leadership.

Cultural Blind Spots

A strong leader in Houston isn't automatically a strong leader in Monterrey.

Junior Execution

Large firms pitch you a partner, then hand the search to a junior associate.

Fixed Fee With No Surprises

Most firms charge a percentage of the hire's annual compensation. We quote a fixed fee per search, agreed before we begin — so your cost doesn't rise every time we find you a stronger candidate.
