Retained search

Choosing Root Search Group for a retained search gives your organisation a dedicated partner focused solely on securing the right senior‑level talent. This model provides the highest level of commitment, allowing us to invest fully in research, market mapping, and targeted outreach from the very start of the assignment.

​

With an upfront engagement, we take full ownership of the search process. That includes defining the brief, identifying the talent landscape, approaching candidates confidentially, managing assessments, and supporting you through final selection and onboarding. Every stage is handled with precision, discretion, and a clear understanding of your organisation’s goals.
 

Clients choose retained search when the role is business‑critical, when confidentiality is essential, or when they need a search partner who can represent them accurately in the market. The approach delivers stronger alignment, a more efficient process, and access to high‑calibre candidates who are often not visible through traditional recruitment channels.
