Retained search is priced as a percentage of first-year total compensation, in line with the executive search market. EXO structures the fee in thirds: engagement, shortlist, and placement, so incentives stay aligned across the search. Every placement carries a replacement provision. Exact terms are set in the engagement agreement, once we understand the seat.
Our recent retained searches have closed in six to eight weeks from intake. Cleared and confidential searches can run longer. We will give you an honest timeline at intake, not a sales number.
Yes. Every retained placement carries a replacement provision, defined in the agreement.
No. A&D and advanced manufacturing is the only market we serve. That focus is the product.
The founder. Every search at EXO runs through Alex Ganz personally.
