- Can you ensure that our interest will be kept confidential?
We must guarantee complete confidentiality to attract the best talent. The same principle holds true for your company. It is very possible the executive you wish to replace is someone we know. You can however rest assured that your secret is safe with us. Our candidates’ resumes are never presented without their express permission. When checking references, we never contact current employers. In order to respect the confidentiality of our clients, The Boutique Search Firm never posts a list of its search assignments.

- What fees and guarantee do you offer?
A retained search firm, we charge a fee amounting to 30% of the candidate's first year gross salary. One third of the estimated fee is due at the beginning of the search. Another third is billed after 30 days. The balance is due upon the candidate's commencement date. WE GUARANTEE ALL OUR PLACEMENTS FOR ONE FULL YEAR. Should a candidate placed by The Boutique Search Firm resign or be terminated for any reason within twelve months of employment, The Boutique Search Firm will conduct a replacement search at no charge to the client.
