Retained Executive Search + Recruiting

Critical Mass

A  high-touch, dedicated, and responsive search process where high alignment and partnership are created from day one, and the success of the placement is ensured with incredible diligence, accountability, and most importantly, a sense of urgency.

It is through years of experience that we bring a deep understanding of the varying client expectations and the potential bottlenecks of a search process, but also the personal and professional characteristics, skillsets, and competencies that encompass an effective leader or team member.
