A senior search takes on average 8-12 weeks from the briefing to the executive starting. The longlist is built within the first two to three weeks; the shortlist is presented within four to six weeks. Notice periods in candidates' current roles fall outside this timeline.

Yes. Placements carry a guarantee of between 6 and 12 months depending on the seniority of the position. If the executive resigns or departs for performance reasons within that period, the search is repeated at no additional fee. The duration and scope of the guarantee are set out in the engagement letter.

Recruitment agencies generally advertise a role and select from those who apply. Executive search does not advertise: we map executives across target companies and approach people who are performing well in their current roles and are not looking to move. In critical positions the right candidate is rarely in an active job search, which makes this approach necessary.

Yes. We are the Turkish member of the InterSearch network, with more than 90 offices across 50 countries. On international mandates our partner office in the relevant country provides access to the local candidate pool while the Turkish office coordinates the process from a single point — one accountable contact, a global team behind it.

Every assignment is conducted in confidence. The client's name is disclosed to a candidate only once mutual interest is established; candidate information is never shared beyond the client. Where required, a search can be run without disclosing the client's identity at all.
