A simple engagement model for PE and SMEs. Operator-led search and fractional leadership with clear scope, agreed cadence, and measurable outcomes.

We align on outcomes, role profile or stabilisation goals, and confirm pricing. For fractional support, we pre-agree on monthly days or hours. For the search, we confirm the target market, assessment, and reporting.

Recruitment starts with talent mapping, outreach, and structured assessment. Fractional support starts with a thirty-sixty-ninety plan, governance, and cadence. You receive weekly progress updates.

Recruitment presents decision-ready shortlists, manages interviews and references, and secures the offer. Fractional support leads the team, unblocks risks, delivers milestones, and reports to the board.

We implement onboarding and a ninety-day success plan. Benefits are tracked across service, cost to serve, and EBITDA. Continue on a fixed retainer if ongoing support is required.
