Retained Search

When the right hire is mission-critical, SelectOne’s Retained Search model delivers the focus and partnership you need. We operate as an extension of your leadership team — conducting a tailored, proactive search to identify exceptional talent aligned with your business goals, values, and long-term strategy. With dedicated resources, deep market insight, and a transparent process, we help you make confident, lasting leadership hires.

Connecting Companies with Exceptional Leaders

Customized Search Process

Our Retained Search model is built around you. We take the time to understand your goals, culture, and vision, then design a targeted search strategy to find the right leader — not just the right résumé. From market research to final placement, every step is tailored, transparent, and focused on long-term success.

Leadership Candidates

We specialize in connecting you with proven leaders who drive results. Our network includes experienced executives, strategic thinkers, and innovators who know how to lead teams and elevate performance. Each candidate is carefully vetted for both skill and cultural fit — ensuring they align with your organization’s vision and values.

Fee Structure

Our Retained Search model is a true partnership. An upfront engagement fee ensures dedicated resources and priority attention to your search, with the remaining balance tied to a successful placement. This structure aligns our goals with yours — delivering focus, accountability, and lasting results.
