The Cost of Getting It Wrong
Industry research is unambiguous: a misqualified hire at the executive level is one of the most expensive decisions in private equity. We partner with recruiters to make sure your team gets it right. Here's what our rigorous due diligence protects.
A single misqualified executive costs your portfolio company up to $240,000 in replacement, lost productivity, and compounding disruption. Our engagement fee is a fraction of that exposure, and eliminates it before the offer is extended.

SHRM places the cost of replacing an executive at up to 200% of their annual salary in recruiting fees, ramp time, and lost momentum. Our expert loop gives you confidence this cost is never incurred.

One wrong addition erodes morale, slows execution, and costs your portfolio the momentum it can't afford to lose. We protect the whole team, not just the seat. The right hire is a force multiplier. The wrong one is a force divider.

Even at the DOL's minimum estimate, a bad hire at $300K costs at least $90,000 before you've seen a single deliverable. Our process pays for itself on the first engagement and delivers certainty, not optimism.

Sometimes you don't need an interview, you need a little advice. We assess your current hiring process, identify where value is being left on the table, and advise on what an interview loop looks like for your portfolio company's next critical hire.
Our Process
Every engagement follows a structured sequence so nothing is left to chance, and every recommendation we deliver is one we'd stake our reputation on.
We begin with a thorough intake: understanding the role, the firm's thesis, the portfolio company's stage, and what success looks like in year one.
We build your interview infrastructure: scripted questions, rubrics, and evaluation criteria designed for signal — not noise.
Before any conversation occurs, we review the candidate's references, repository, portfolio, and any prior work made available.
A 60–90 minute session conducted by a practitioner with direct domain expertise.
A full written report. What we observed, how we scored it, what it means, and a clear recommendation delivered within 48 hours.
The cost of a wrong hire at the portfolio level isn't measured in salary; it's measured in delivery time, credibility, and value creation that never happened.
For recruiters, it is the difference of your firm's reputation and repeat clients.
