Twelve practices. One operating discipline.
We run a small number of high-stakes searches at a time, vertical by vertical, with the same retained discipline behind each one.
These are not arbitrary verticals.
Search & Strategy sits inside Wells Onyx, a private holding company operating in most of these sectors. We open a practice where the group already has an operating company, which means we are hiring into these markets for ourselves before we ever do it for you — and we carry the scar tissue to prove it. Every engagement is run for the client in front of us, under the same retained discipline, whether or not the group has a company in that market.
