Questions
Frequently asked.
How is a Market Map different from a search?
A Market Map shows you the market and your realistic options. A retained search then approaches and appoints the leader you need. Many clients start with a map.
Is it confidential?
Completely. Every sounding is brokered discreetly, and your name is never disclosed without your agreement.
What does it cost?
A Market Map is delivered for a fixed fee, agreed at the outset and fully credited against a retained search if you proceed within six months. An Executive Partner will quote on a first call.
What happens after the map?
You decide. Many clients move straight to a retained search, and the map makes that search faster and sharper.
