Fractional engagements are tailored to the scope, complexity, and level of support required. After understanding your needs, we recommend the right structure and provide clear expectations around scope, involvement, and fees.

Our search engagements are intentionally focused and highly involved. We intentionally maintain around 2-5 active searches rather than competing for volume. This allows us to become deeply familiar with the principal, household, organization, culture, expectations, and nuances of the role.
As a matter of practice, we do not typically conduct the same search alongside another search firm. When we accept an engagement, we want to be fully accountable for the process and the outcome.
Dedicated Search | 15% Investment
Our fee is based on the candidate’s first-year base compensation and reflects the scope and complexity of the search, not simply the salary figure. We consider the level of the role, the market, the specificity of the requirements, and the difficulty of identifying someone who is genuinely right for the household or organization.
A 25% engagement fee is required to initiate the search.
Advisory + Search | 18% Investment
This engagement may include a broader assessment of the household or family office, role design, team structure, compensation guidance, candidate sourcing and assessment, references, onboarding, and ongoing advisory support.
The scope and fee are customized to the needs of each engagement. A 30% engagement fee is required to begin.
