When a role is critical, and you have to get it right...

That's when companies call Warson Search.

Retained Search and Engaged Search
  • Management and Executive roles

  • Specialized skillsets

  • Confidential/replacement search

We work as a consultative partner with our clients, typically in a retained (or "container"/engaged) search model.

We provide role, process, and compensation advisory, full candidate management, and transparent, regular updates. Your search is always our highest priority.

Contingency Search

Contingency search is best for roles that don’t require the depth of a retained engagement but still require outside recruiting assistance.

Contingency search can be the right choice depending on the level and importance of the role.
