Curated shortlist
Four to six candidates with a written assessment of their MW delivered, Cx history, and program fit.

Close & onboard
We manage offer mechanics, counteroffers, relo, and a 12-month replacement guarantee on every direct-hire placement.
Clients
A selection of the builders we work with.
How we source
We meet candidates. Then we match them.
Great placements start with great conversations. We combine traditional recruitment with modern tools to find the right people wherever they are.
Face to face first
We meet candidates in person, on video, and on the phone before they ever reach your shortlist. Relationships come before resumes.
Traditional search
Headhunting, referrals, industry events, and deep market networks remain the backbone of how we find proven operators.
Digital & social reach
Targeted social campaigns, online communities, and digital outreach help us connect with passive talent who are not actively applying.
AI & data intelligence
Modern tools map markets faster, surface hidden candidates, and keep our pipeline rich but every shortlist is still human-curated.
