How We Work.
No job ads. No CVs into the void. Just considered, confidential conversations.
We don't recruit. We invite.
Before we contacted you, we researched the market, studied your body of work, and concluded you belong on a very short list. Usually ten to fifteen names, from a market of hundreds.
The Personalised Leadership Invitation you received was written for you alone. It exists because a practice we represent believes their future could include you.
It starts with a coffee.
Every Maven conversation begins the same way: informal and off the record. No interview. No CV required. No commitment.
We'll tell you about the practice, the role and the opportunity. You tell us whether it's interesting. If it isn't, or the timing's wrong, we part as friends and you stay on our radar.
Many leaders we place first said "not now" years earlier. Most tell us it's the most useful career conversation they've had in years, whether they move or not.
A process that respects your position.
Meet.
Confidential introductions with the practice leadership, arranged around your schedule and your discretion.
Decide.
Honest counsel at every step: on the role, the offer, the transition, and the counter-offer conversation your current firm will almost certainly start.
Land.
We stay close until you're signed, started and settled.
No stage happens without your say-so. Your name is never shared without your permission.
Absolute. Always.
Your current firm will never hear from us. Your interest stays between us until you decide otherwise.
In an industry this connected, we've kept confidences for nearly three decades. It's why leaders keep taking our calls.
