Durability
Retention at one year protects the multiple. The placement that stays is the value that compounds instead of resetting your recruiting clock and your integration risk.
The investor layer
In a roll-up, people are the largest variable cost and the most common reason a thesis stalls. We treat selection as risk mitigation - and turn the messiest line in your model into one you can underwrite.
The thesis, in your language
Consolidation plays don’t fail on the spreadsheet. They fail when the leader you inherited can’t scale, the key operator walks six months post-close, or the culture that drove the numbers quietly leaves with them. People are the single largest point of failure in the plan.
We don’t sell soul to a deal team. We sell de-risked capital deployment: the right leaders, placed fast, who stay. Our discernment is risk mitigation on your biggest variable cost - and our retention rate is the math working in your favor.
Positioned across a portfolio, that’s not a series of recruiting projects. It’s people infrastructure.
How we de-risk
Retention at one year protects the multiple. The placement that stays is the value that compounds instead of resetting your recruiting clock and your integration risk.
Leadership gaps cost more the longer they stay open. We close exec and technology roles in about four weeks, where the market runs months - time back on every thesis.
The same selection discipline applied across every add-on and every location - so people quality doesn’t drift as the platform grows and the diligence holds up.
Metric-driven proof
Leadership and technology placements retained at one year across a multi-site footprint - the human side of the thesis, held steady through a period of fast expansion.
Average time from kickoff to a signed offer on senior roles, with a calibrated slate the deal team could move on - speed where every week of an open seat is value left on the table.
Client identities are held in confidence until they’re ready to be named - the same discretion we’d extend to you. References and a deeper, deal-specific walkthrough are available on request.
Bring us the thesis, the gaps, or the portfolio. We’ll show you where disciplined selection protects the return - and where it creates it.
