For your business need

When direct search is needed

01

A narrow profile

The required mix of experience, industry and competencies is rare in the market.

02

Passive candidates

You need professionals who do not publish CVs or respond to standard vacancies.

03

A high cost of error

The role directly affects the team, revenue, product or company management.

04

AI has changed the requirements

You need to understand how candidates are adapting their professional practice to new tools.

  • Structured CV and relevant context
  • Recruiter’s conclusion with strengths and risks

  • Current salary expectations
  • Two professional reference checks
