EXECUTIVE SEARCH
Executive Search in Finance, Tax & Legal. Shortlist in 2-3 weeks. Signed in 2-3 months.
For clients: Our method · Talent Risk Radar · About us
Retained executive search is not a job board. We work exclusively and discreetly, representing the scarce senior talent that never surfaces on a vacancy site — CFOs, Tax Directors, General Counsels. The difference is the network: 500+ senior relationships in Finance, Tax and Legal that we are in contact with every day.
So we don't start from zero. Where a standard search begins with an empty longlist, we already have the names in view. Our fees are creditable and transparent, and the return on a sound appointment repays itself many times over.
"Where the market needs 4-7 months, we place in 2-3 months — through a network that is active every day."

Executive search, briefly explained.
How does retained executive search work at The Sourcing Partners?
We work retained and exclusively, on the Impresario model: we represent scarce senior talent rather than circulating vacancies. Because we maintain a network of 500+ senior relationships that is active every day, we don't start from zero — we start from a longlist that already exists.
What is the time-to-hire on an executive search?
The shortlist is ready in 2-3 weeks, and the contract is usually signed within 2-3 months. Where the market needs 4-7 months, we place faster because our network in Finance, Tax and Legal is already warm.
Are the fees creditable?
Yes. Our fees are creditable and transparent, with a retained structure that protects priority. The return on a sound senior appointment runs at 5-10x the fee.
How do you safeguard quality and off-limits?
We hold to strict off-limits agreements: candidates we place are not approached for other assignments. Every introduction passes the same quality test, with a guarantee should someone leave early.
Ready for the right senior appointment?
We don't start from zero. Reach us without obligation via contact for a confidential conversation about your search.
