What I run for you
Discovery & Brief
We pin down the real spec - the role behind the job title - and the must-have signals that actually predict success.
Headhunt & Shortlist
I go after the ones who are not looking. A tight, calibrated shortlist of 4-6 vetted candidates, never a CV dump.
Assess & Place
Structured interviews, references, offer strategy and close. I stay in the room until the signature lands.
Onboard & Retain
90-day check-ins with both sides. 94% of my placements are still there at one year.

Who are you?
You are not looking. That is the point.
- Confidential conversations, never your current employer
- Roles that are not on any job board
- Honest read on fit, comp and the team
I find the ones who aren't looking.
- A shortlist you would actually hire, not a pile of CVs
- Access to passive, senior, hard-to-reach talent
- One point of contact, accountable end to end
Brief. Shortlist. Place.
We map the role, the team and the must-haves. I calibrate on real candidates before the search starts.
I approach the market directly. You see a tight, vetted shortlist with my honest read on each one.
I run offer and close, then stay on through the first weeks. The placement that sticks is the only one that counts.

Hires and hiring managers
Filled our VP Eng seat in three weeks after two agencies failed for six months. Omar finds the ones who are not looking.
He reached out about a role I would never have applied for. Best career move I have made. He gets both sides.
A shortlist of five, every one of them a real fit. No noise, no CV spam. We hired in 22 days.
Honest about the role, honest about my gaps, and stayed in the loop through onboarding. Rare.
Strategy call
30 minutes. Tell me the role, the team and the bar. I will tell you if I can fill it.
