What you get
Where the people who can do this role actually work today — mapped across your market before a single approach is made.
The named teams and structures at the organisations you'd most want to hire from, so the search targets proven performers, not applicants.
Every shortlisted candidate is interviewed and assessed against the brief before you meet them — a decision-ready slate, not a pile of CVs.

Senior appointments at £80,000 and above — leadership, heads of function and business-critical specialist seats where the right person is almost never applying to adverts.
Guaranteed Hire advertises and headhunts a role to a screened shortlist. Executive Search is approach-led from the start: we map the market and your competitors' talent first, then approach named individuals confidentially, and every shortlisted candidate is interviewed and assessed against the brief before you meet them.
£6,000 +VAT, flat. No percentage of salary, no commission — on a £80,000 hire a typical 20% agency fee would be £16,000 or more. In Ireland it's €7,000, with no VAT.
You get 100% of your fee back. The refund guarantee is standard on Executive Search, exactly as it is on Guaranteed Hire — no rebate ladder, no vouchers.
