The New York practice

Local searches, run by recruiters who know the market.

Financial services, fintech, technology, life sciences, healthcare, media, and global headquarters depth. The recruiter assigned to your search has spent a decade or more in your industry and runs the engagement end-to-end. There is no junior-associate handoff after the kickoff call.

New York candidate pools are mostly passive at the senior level. Engaged search is built around exactly that condition, the deposit funds passive-talent advertising and dedicated specialist time, and the balance is owed only on placement.

How long does an executive search take in New York?
Engaged search engagements in New York typically deliver a calibrated shortlist inside three to five weeks and close inside eight to twelve weeks. Director-level searches run faster when the candidate pool is favorable; C-suite and confidential replacements run longer when the comp band requires re-leveling or the search is post-incident.
Are searches in New York typically engaged or contingent?
Most senior leadership searches in New York are engaged — the deposit funds passive-talent advertising and dedicated specialist time, and the balance is owed only on placement. Contingent search runs in parallel with internal recruiting for roles where the candidate pool is more active.
Do you work with passive candidates in New York?
Yes. The senior candidate pool in New York is mostly passive, especially in Finance and Fintech. The engaged-search model is built around reaching those candidates discreetly, with credible specialist outreach the local employer market expects.
