The process

How We Work

Three steps. The first one is free of charge and free of pitch.

  1. i.

    The consulting call

    Step 1 of the engagement, not a sales conversation. You bring the hiring problem; I bring decades of pattern recognition. You’ll leave the call with something useful whether or not we work together.

  2. ii.

    The pilot search

    One search, fully executed, so the working relationship is proven on real work rather than promised. [FINAL COPY: pilot-search mechanics from spec.]

  3. iii.

    The ongoing advisory

    Fractional talent advisory — recruiting judgment on tap as your team and vision grow. [FINAL COPY: advisory model description.]

Beyond retained search

Contract and interim engagements

Retained search is the flagship, not the fence. Where the fit is right, DR&C also takes contract recruiting and interim talent engagements. The first step is the same conversation.

Pricing, in plain language

You pay for judgment, not hours of it wasted.

[FINAL COPY: pricing philosophy including the credit concept, in David’s voice. Plain language, no rate-card theatrics.]

Step 1 is a phone call.

No deck, no discovery form, no funnel. A conversation between principals.
