1.

Join.

Create an initial, private profile. This brief process helps us learn a little about you and prepare before our initial conversation.

2.

Get to know each other.

We set up a call learn more about you, your goals, and your longer-term vision. We’ll answer all your questions about what to expect when you work with us.

3.

Prepare.

Once we’re sure we can help you, we’ll investigate your specific goals, company, and industry dynamics, and challenges to discover who you are looking for.

4.

Start the search.

Preparations were extremely thorough, so we won’t have to use more of your time for follow-up questions. We’ll stay immersed and focused for the first couple of weeks and emerge with 3-5 candidates and supporting briefs of pertinent information to review with you and schedule your first introductions!

The Free Agent Exchange

Executive Level Contract Resources

If you need to fill a senior-level position but it may be too early for a full-time resource, you can leverage our vetted talent on The Free Agent Exchange, a private, closed network where you can browse and use Executive-Level contract resources.

We are...

The majority of the organizations in our network are technology companies with revenues ranging from $30-400M, that need access to thoroughly vetted, top-tier talent to ensure no loss of momentum. 

Engagement flexibility is critical for growth.

Our model helps companies fill interim, fractional or full-time roles quickly.

When you’re growing, your budget may not support full-time involvement, and the future is rarely clear. Flexibility is required to navigate the journey, but it doesn’t lessen the importance of the value you need. Our transparent pricing and guarantees support both.

Talent is Guaranteed

Free replacement* should someone not work out (though this is why we vet exhaustively!)
