- 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. We are UK GDPR compliant, and candidate data is never used to train AI models. See our privacy policy.
- 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.
