One partner, from the first call to the offer
Lindsay Maclachlan
She still builds the shortlist by hand, and she will tell you a search is not a database query. On a mandate this size at a global firm, the person you meet in the pitch is not the person doing the work. Here it is the same person, from the first call to the accepted offer.
Four steps, and the days each one takes
The average search in this market runs 42 days. Here is where they go, and where they get lost.
Roles we filled, and when
[Six to nine placements, title and sector only, no employer names unless cleared.]
“[One client sentence about the search, not about the firm.]”

Before you call
How long does an executive search take?
Forty-two days on average in this market, from brief to accepted offer. The variable is rarely candidate supply; it is how long the approval takes on the client side.
Who actually runs my search?
A partner. On a mandate this size at a global firm, the person in the pitch is not the person doing the work. That is the difference we are selling.
What does an executive search cost?
[Fee structure, stated plainly. If we will not publish a number, say what it depends on.]
Do you work in French, in Montreal?
Yes. Neda Canario, Senior Vice President, covers both offices, and the Montreal desk runs in French: Stephanie Frenette-Marier, Lea Jaouich and Satchel Delpech. Their direct lines are on the team page.
What if the hire does not work out?
[Guarantee period and what it covers.]
