FAQ Page

Our frequently asked questions.

1. Why should we work with a search firm instead of hiring on our own?

Most companies have access to active job seekers, but the best talent is often not looking—they’re busy succeeding elsewhere. We specialize in engaging passive candidates, mapping the talent market, and ensuring you get the right hire, not just the available one.

2. What industries do you specialize in?

We focus on energy, chemicals, and industrial sectors, including upstream, midstream, downstream, renewables, and energy transition. Our expertise extends to engineering, technical, management, and executive roles—helping companies build high-performing teams that drive innovation.

3. How do you find candidates that other firms don’t?

Our process goes beyond job boards and LinkedIn searches. We map the talent landscape, identify who’s making an impact in the industry, and reach out to them in ways that spark interest—even if they weren’t actively considering a move. We also leverage our deep network of industry professionals to uncover hidden talent.

4. What makes your search process different?

We don’t just fill roles—we solve hiring challenges. Our customized search approach includes:
✅ Talent Mapping: Identifying who’s driving success in your industry.
✅ Brand Positioning: Making your opportunity compelling to top talent.
✅ Bias-Free Selection: Helping hiring teams avoid blind spots.
✅ Retention Strategy: Ensuring long-term success, not just quick hires.

5. How long does the hiring process take?

While timelines vary based on the role’s complexity, we typically deliver a slate of high-caliber candidates within 4-6 weeks. Our process ensures quality over speed, balancing efficiency with finding the right long-term hire. This saves time later in the process and mitigates risk.

6. How do you ensure cultural and team alignment in hiring?

We don’t just match skills—we assess team dynamics, leadership style, and organizational goals. Our method identifies candidates who enhance your culture, ensuring they’re a true asset to your team.

7. Do you provide diversity-focused recruiting?

Absolutely. Our approach is built around cognitive diversity, ensuring slates include a range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We help companies move beyond “culture fit” to culture add, hiring people who strengthen teams.

8. How do you help hiring managers make better hiring decisions?

We provide:
✅ Market insights so you know what’s realistic for your role.
✅ Consultation on job descriptions to ensure they attract the right talent.
✅ Interview guidance to focus on skills, impact, and long-term fit.
✅ Ongoing communication to avoid hiring roadblocks.

9. What happens if a hire doesn’t work out?

We stand behind our placements with a replacement guarantee. However, our retention-driven process minimizes this risk by ensuring candidates are fully aligned before they accept an offer.
