How the search runs

Our account management search process

A focused, consultative search built to decrease your time to hire while protecting the quality of every account management candidate we present.

Step 01

Calibration

We start with a deep intake on the role, the accounts it will own, and the team it joins, aligning on must-haves, seniority, and the profile that fits your stage, often within the first 24 to 48 hours.

Step 02

Network activation

We put our account management network to work across the relevant verticals, from customer success and client services to technical account management, tapping passive talent that is not on the open market.

Step 03

Screening and vetting

We assess candidates for retention skill, client relationship strength, and cultural fit, presenting only people who are an exact match for your needs rather than a long, unfiltered list.

Step 04

Curated shortlist

You review a tight shortlist of qualified, interested candidates, each with context on why they fit the role, the accounts, and the stage of your business.

Step 05

Interview management

We coordinate scheduling, gather structured feedback after each round, and keep both sides aligned so momentum holds and strong candidates stay engaged.

Step 06

Offer, close, and guarantee

We manage the offer and close, advising on package and counteroffer dynamics to land the hire. Every placement is backed by our guarantee, with structured 3 and 6 month follow-ups to confirm the hire is performing and the fit holds.
