From brief to longlist
Agents do the reading. People make the calls.
Seven steps, and at every one of them it is clear who does the work: the agents, our team, or you.
We take the brief with you and write the scorecard this search will be judged on: what great looks like for this role, at these companies, now – not the criteria of the last search.
Agents pull in every company that could be relevant – wide on purpose, not a filtered list – and read each one for what a database does not hold: how it sells, how the function is built, whether it belongs in this search.
At every company that belongs, the people who hold the role today and the ones who held it before, with their full careers.
Each person is scored against the scorecard and the context the company agents gathered, then tiered: who you call first, and who can wait. Every score carries its reasons.
A researcher reviews the work: names checked by hand, the edge cases judged, and nobody ruled out by a model on its own.
A longlist you can defend in front of a client, with the whole market behind it. The approaches go out the same week.
Every week your client gets an update and a portal with every candidate, and a written reason for each one ruled out.
What the agents ask
Specialist agents read every company for the context a company database does not hold:
That reading does two jobs. It takes out the companies that look right and are not – and it carries forward, so each candidate is scored knowing what kind of business they actually worked in.
Every company in the sector, read one by one.

Every company read, not a sample of the market.
What you receive
Every company that could be relevant, each marked as in or out of the search, with the reason the agent gave.
The criteria the search is judged on, written for this role and kept with the search for everyone who works on it.
Everyone who has held the seat, scored, tiered and checked, with the reasoning written out for each.
The brief, the specification and the company profile in one place, shared by every mapping of the search.
Progress your client can see every week, in a deck and in their portal.
A written reason for every candidate ruled out, so the client sees the judgement as well as the result.

Product updates
Intelligent AI agents now run on a newer model. In our test they answered each company in a third of the time and made 3 mistakes in 40 instead of 11.
Every mapping of a search now shares one Data Room: one brief, one specification, one company profile. Also new: file uploads, your own order and pins.
