Hire with precision. Retain with confidence.
Exentive works on retainer because it produces better outcomes. Dedicated focus, genuine accountability, and search built around your business, not a database blast.
75% of our work is retained. It's the model we believe in because it aligns incentives: we're accountable to you, not to whoever converts first.
Retained fees are structured in two stages: engagement, and placement. We're happy to discuss the specifics on a call.
How a search unfolds.
Briefing
We learn your business, not just the role. A 60-minute discovery session sets the foundation.
Market Mapping
We map the available talent landscape before we approach anyone. You see the market, not just our network.
Outreach & Shortlist
Active headhunting, screening, and a curated shortlist. No padding. Only candidates we'd confidently recommend.
Interview & Offer
We manage scheduling, debrief support, and offer negotiation. We stay in the room through to close.
Placement & Guarantee
Post-placement check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days. And a guarantee that means something if it doesn't work out.
