Bespoke / POA
Board-level hiring for moments that matter.
When the Hire Is the Strategy.
Some hiring decisions are not operational.
They are directional.
This is for the moments where a single appointment changes the trajectory of the business: C-suite hires, senior leadership appointments, major restructures, market entry, or transformation at pace.
The stakes are high. The visibility is higher. And the cost of being wrong is measured in years, not months.
You do not need volume.
You need judgement, discretion, and certainty.
Why Bespoke?
Because the people you need are not looking, not applying, and not engaging with standard recruitment processes.
Bespoke / POA exists for high-complexity, high-value people decisions where a subscription model is not appropriate and the margin for error is minimal.
This is white-glove, board-level search and advisory support, delivered with the seriousness these decisions demand.
What This Looks Like in Practice
Executive-Level Assessment
We go beyond capability and experience. We assess leadership style, decision-making under pressure, cultural impact, and long-term fit with the existing executive team. This is about alignment, not just achievement.
Market Mapping and Access
We map the market properly, challenge assumptions in the brief, and discreetly engage individuals who are not visible or available through conventional channels. This is how genuinely rare talent is identified and secured.
Enhanced Due Diligence
We support deeper evaluation around team dynamics, role design, and structural implications. This allows you to make decisions that stand up to board scrutiny and reduce downstream risk.
Discretion and Governance
Every search is handled with absolute confidentiality. We operate as a trusted advisor, not a vendor, ensuring the process reflects the seriousness of the decision and protects all parties involved.
Pricing
Bespoke engagements are priced on application because the scope, complexity, and level of involvement vary significantly.
What does not vary is our approach: straight-talking, highly considered, and focused entirely on making the right decision for the long term.
If This Sounds Familiar:
“This is a big bet. It needs to be right.”
Then Bespoke / POA is the right conversation to have.
