Who do we help?
We partner with growing organizations to fill the hardest layer to hire: the critical contributors, directors, and functional leaders who drive daily execution. These are the roles where hiring mistakes are most costly—and where search discipline matters most.
We serve as a trusted partner to executive search firms, helping you say "yes" to your clients without compromising your model. We stay fully focused on the Missing Middle, never competing upstream, and always protecting your brand.

What is the missing middle?
The Director, VP, and functional leadership roles that are too important to staff haphazardly but often overlooked by executive search firms. These are the people who own execution, build teams, and move strategy forward.
How we staff it:
We bring the precision and process of executive search—scorecard alignment, AI-enabled sourcing, and behavioral vetting—into a faster, more practical model built specifically for mid-to-senior level hiring.
Whether you’re scaling a PE-backed business or building a high-growth team, we help you de-risk hiring and make smarter talent decisions—without bloated fees or slow timelines.
