Fee Structure

Each assignment we engage in is custom tailored to the needs of that particular client. Some require a greater degree of pre and post consultation, especially our family office and family business relationships. Others focus on more traditional search activity. Consequently, we structure our fees based on the degree of difficulty of the project and the level of consulting required.

Our pricing philosophy is based more on the value we bring to you through our unique risk management process than on the salary of the candidates. We feel strongly that you should not be biased in your decision on which candidate to hire because our fee will be more or less depending on the candidate's salary.

For executive search engagements with our corporate clients, we can establish a flat fee arrangement for each search or consulting assignment. We will accommodate those who still prefer the traditional percentage of annual compensation used by other search firms.

For our family office and family business clients, we set a fee based on the nature of the assignment, the extent of family consulting required, and the degree of difficulty in finding someone for the job.

Since we are in partnership with our clients to help them make the best decisions, we strongly believe in sharing the risk and reward on each assignment. Consequently, we can be very creative when it comes to pricing and billing our retainer fee. In addition, at the end of each month we are working together, we will assess your level of satisfaction and interest in continuing to the next stage. This gives both of us a chance to discuss what's working or not working so that we can reach a successful conclusion.
