Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at enquiries@steadmanchase.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We operate on a headhunting model, not job board dependency. Most professionals we represent are not actively applying to roles. Searches are conducted through direct market engagement, supported by proprietary intelligence within our Talent Vault™ network.
Talent Vault™ is our proprietary executive search framework, built on direct relationships with senior professionals across Legal and Technology. It enables access to individuals rarely visible through conventional hiring channels.
Because their careers are managed with precision, discretion, and access to opportunities rarely visible to the wider market.
Shortlists are typically delivered within 48 to 72 hours of brief confirmation, through targeted outreach rather than volume sourcing.
Yes. Replacement searches are provided under defined conditions when a placed candidate exits within the agreed guarantee period.
Retained search is an exclusive partnership structured around staged deliverables to secure senior or specialist talent where failure to hire is not an option.
We operate across retained, contingent, contract, and scale-up partnerships depending on urgency, seniority, and hiring volume.
We support multinational corporations, consultancies, and high-growth technology businesses where access to specialist talent directly impacts performance.
No. Many vacancies are confidential or business-critical. A significant portion of our work is conducted off-market to protect both client strategy and candidate privacy.
Not typically. We primarily engage proven specialists and leaders within our network, who rely on us to manage career moves discreetly.
Our work is intentionally selective. Representation is based on market credibility, delivery history, and leadership trajectory, not application volume.
Yes. Searches are handled with strict discretion, particularly where candidates must avoid signalling movement within their current organisation.
If you have already applied to a client directly, we are typically unable to formally represent you on that vacancy. GDPR and right-to-represent provisions prevent third-party introduction once an application is on file. We can still discuss the wider market with you, manage other introductions in confidence, and engage on your behalf with the same client on future searches outside the active application. We advise engaging with us before applying, so representation can be handled properly from the outset.
