HOW WE WORK
PAGE 03
NO. 1
Retained, not contingent
One mandate per consultant at a time. No database matching, no candidate shopped to three firms at once.
NO. 2
Sector research between mandates
We map board and executive markets on an ongoing basis, so a new search opens with a view already formed.
NO. 3
One consultant, start to finish
The person who takes your brief runs the interviews and the offer. No handoff to a research team partway through.
The market view is formed before the brief arrives. That is the whole advantage.

QUORUM PARTNERS

COMMON QUESTIONS
PAGE 06
What is retained search?
We work exclusively on your mandate, mapping and approaching the market directly rather than matching against a database of active candidates.
How long does a search take?
Most board and C-suite mandates complete in ten to fourteen weeks, from initial brief to signed offer.
Do you work on contingency?
No. Every mandate is retained, so our only incentive is the right appointment, not the fastest one.
How do you handle confidentiality?
Searches run under strict confidentiality by default. Nothing about a mandate or a candidate moves without your agreement.
