How a search works
Most senior searches close in six to ten weeks from brief to accepted offer.
- Week 1
Brief
We go beyond the job description to learn the business problem the hire must solve, the team they'll lead, and what success looks like after 12 months.
- Weeks 2–4
Search
We map the market directly, approaching leaders who aren't applying for jobs, across the Gulf, East and West Africa, and India.
- Weeks 4–6
Assess
Structured interviews and referencing test capability and fit. You see a shortlist of three to five candidates we'd stand behind.
- Weeks 6–10
Close and integrate
We manage the offer, counter-offer risk and notice periods, then check in through the first 90 days.

Questions clients ask
How long does a search take?
Most senior searches close in six to ten weeks from brief to accepted offer.
Can you search confidentially?
Yes. We regularly run searches where the incumbent or the market must not know.
Do you only work in the Gulf?
No. Much of our work is in East and West Africa, and we source leaders from the Middle East, Africa, India and the diaspora.
Can you combine search with organisation advice?
Yes. Many clients redesign their structure with us first, then use our search team to fill the new roles.
