We understand what makes successful placements—not just matching credentials, but assessing leadership style, cultural fit, and organisational alignment.
Clients work directly with our Managing Director throughout every search. No delegation to junior researchers. No handoffs. Just senior-level attention from start to finish.
Because speed in filling the role with an excellent candidate was of critical importance to the company, Mr. de Meo was hired. His reputation preceded him as an individual at the top of his field, and he proved to be an extraordinary resource.
