What Our Clients Say
FAQ: Executive Search in Minneapolis
What roles does your executive search cover?
Director, VP, and C-suite roles in marketing, creative, digital, HR, finance, and operations, plus general leadership roles like COO and President.
How long does an executive search take?
Most clients see a vetted shortlist in about 30 days. A full search usually runs 60 to 90 days from kickoff to accepted offer.
How is executive search priced?
On contingency: a percentage of first-year base salary, paid only when we place someone. There’s no upfront retainer.
Can you run a confidential search?
Yes. We regularly replace sitting leaders without the search becoming public.
Can you hire several leaders at once?
Yes. We often run multiple leadership searches for the same company.
Do you run executive searches outside Minnesota?
Yes. We’re based in the Twin Cities and run searches for companies across the U.S.
What if the hire doesn't work out?
Our 5-year hiring guarantee covers you, with fee protection from day one and up to five years. If a placement doesn’t work out, we re-run the search at no additional cost.
