■ Not looking? Good.
Candidates
Most of the people we place weren’t looking when we first called. Tell us what would make a move worth it, and we’ll only call when something is.
01
One call a quarter
Hana or one of the partners checks in four times a year. Never a pitch, and never a list of jobs.
02
Tell us your number
The role, the team and the number that would move you. We keep it to ourselves until the right search opens.
03
Only calls worth taking
When a search matches, we call with the brief, the team and the offer range. If it’s a no, that’s the end of it.
■ Confidential profile
Leave a profile. We’ll only call when it’s worth it.
Seen only by the partner who covers your field.
Never shared with a client without your written permission.
Deleted on request, within a working day.
No newsletters, no job alerts, no automated anything.
In their words
■ People we placed
Every one of them was happily employed when we first called.
They talked me out of two offers before they found the right one. I didn’t know recruiters did that.
Staff ML engineer
Placed at an AI lab, 2025
They were honest that the equity was worth less than the startup said. I took the job anyway, with a better number.
Founding engineer
Robotics startup, Munich
One call a quarter for three years, never a pitch. When I was ready, it was the first number I rang.
Research director
Placed in 2024

■ The confidentiality rule
Your name never leaves this office without your written yes.
Not to a client, not to a colleague, not in a pitch deck. It is the rule the firm was built on, and it is in every client contract we sign.
