The map

Eight pillar sectors, one search standard.

Where leadership demand is concentrated. Where mandates are recurring enough to keep our maps live.

Read by sector-native partners — not handed off to junior researchers, not generated on the day a brief lands.

How we work

Sector coverage

Coverage is not a list of industries we are willing to take a brief in.

It is the set of sectors where we keep continuous market maps live — where the same partners see enough mandates each year to recognise patterns of compensation, mobility, succession and risk before the next brief arrives.

The eight pillars below are the working perimeter. Sub-sectors and authority clusters sit underneath each one. If a search sits adjacent to the map, we will say so before the meeting ends.

The map is the work.

Eight pillars · read every week

Architecture

Each pillar maps to specialisms, role paths and authority clusters.

Pillar pages do not list every job title we will recruit. They publish the working perimeter — where partners read the market every week, and where references move quickly when a brief lands.

i.
Sub-sectors and niches

The active specialisms within the pillar — where the partner network is dense enough that a brief can move in days, not weeks.
ii.
Role paths and seniority bands

From senior technical leadership through department directors, heads of function and country managers. Selected C-suite where context is already shared.
iii.
Authority clusters and references

Who reads whom, who replaced whom, who would take the call. Continuous mapping is what makes a shortlist defensible — not a one-week sprint.

Next step

Tell us the role. We will tell you the map.

Share the mandate, the market, and what makes the search difficult. We will say whether the brief sits cleanly inside one of the eight pillars, where it crosses, and whether it is best run as Proof-First Search, retained search or a preliminary talent map.

For confidential briefs, use the secure mandate form so the request reaches the right sector partner without going through the public queue.
