- Do you know my sector?
- We've delivered briefs across technology, defence, life sciences, fintech, and energy. The research adapts to the brief, not to a fixed database.
- What if the first list isn't right?
- We refine based on your feedback. The brief evolves, so does the research. We iterate until the list works for you.
- How is this different from a database?
- Dozens of research agents each take a different angle on your brief and search independently across sectors, geographies, and career paths. The output is assessed and contextualised against your criteria, not raw results.
- Is this confidential?
- Every brief is treated as confidential. Happy to sign an NDA before we start.
- Do we have to use your workspace?
- The reviewed candidate list is published in an invited workspace, alongside the evidence and fit reasoning. Cruvo can discuss another handoff format before the search starts.
- What happens to the contacts after the brief?
- They stay in your Rolodex, and they stay yours. You run the outreach, so the people you approach become your network — worth something now if the role fits, and worth more later when the timing is right. An agency's relationship with them ends at the placement.
- Do you do the outreach as well?
- No, and that's deliberate. We're the first step: we find the people and tell you why each one is on the list. Your team makes the approach, runs the interviews, and closes. That's what keeps the relationship — and the cost — yours.
- We're a search firm, not an in-house team. Does it still work?
- Yes. We started with independent and boutique search consultants and still work with several on repeat briefs. The workspace handles a client-facing slate with your branding as well as an internal shortlist.
