ENGAGED
SEARCH MODEL.

We replace subjective resume sorting with our 5-Point Alignment Protocol and Executive Authority Scorecard. Clients and candidates score mutual alignment across five critical operational benchmarks: Competency Index, Trajectory Sync, Pressure Resilience, Compensation Clarity, and the 90-Day Roadmap. Candidates unlock fast-track interview stages by hitting objective score thresholds, ensuring both parties have real skin in the game.

Engaged searches require an initial Tier 1 search engagement fee of $3,500 to fund our dedicated research sprint, targeted multichannel outreach, and executive sourcing. The success-based placement fee is 25% of first-year compensation upon hire, with your $3,500 engagement fee 100% credited toward the final invoice.

Unlike contingency firms that juggle dozens of competing openings with zero accountability, Engaged Search commits dedicated senior resources exclusively to your role with an initial shortlist presented within 21 days, weekly pipeline analytics, and verified 5-point candidate calibration.

You receive bi-weekly intelligence reports covering candidate scorecard ratings, market compensation feedback, and competitive pipeline velocity.

We calibrate every mandate with our 5-Point Alignment Protocol and 2-year retention benchmarks, resulting in a verified 93% 2-year retention rate across 500+ career placements since 2009. Custom performance provisions are structured during private consultation.

Yes. While our core flagship model is executive recruiting powered by dedicated search sprints and credited engagement fees, we also provide specialized staffing and direct-hire placement for high-demand clinical, technical, and operational positions on a contingent or project basis with $0 upfront commitment.
