Frequently Asked Questions

For permanent recruitment we work on a no cure, no pay basis: you pay a fee upon a successful placement, typically a percentage of the gross annual salary. For interim and freelance assignments we apply a transparent day or hourly rate. We agree the exact terms in advance, tailored to the role and your situation.

Thanks to our selective, always-active network we typically deliver interim experts within 2 to 5 working days. Permanent leadership roles are sometimes filled within five weeks — without compromising on quality or cultural fit. In urgent situations we act immediately through our Urgent Hire service.
