What People Are Saying
Discover how our course is empowering recruiters to excel in retained search
I had been trying to move a long-term contingency client to retained for two years. Went through this course on a Thursday, rebuilt the pitch with the Pain Point Mapper on Friday, sent it Monday. Signed £44,000 retainer by the end of the week. The pitch was the missing piece
Executive Search Consultant, Legal Services, London
The engagement letter generator paid for the course in my first week. I had put off a retained pitch for three months because I hated writing the documents. The generator produced a better version than I would have written myself in about four minutes.
FinTech Recruiter - Las Vegas, NV
The Market Map Generator pulls live market data, which is what sells retained. I used to spend two days building a market map by hand. Now it is twenty minutes and the quality is higher. Clients comment on the depth every single time.
Principal Consultant, Chemicals and Life Sciences, Canada
I went from zero retained placements in 2024 to six retained briefs live by the end of quarter one in 2026. The positioning section changed how I sell. I no longer pitch retained. I pitch a project, and the project just happens to be retained
