Introducing Fairantee™:
The Future of Fair Pricing

Revolutionizing Recruiting

Fairantee™ revolutionizes executive search pricing by using an AI-powered algorithm that considers the true complexity of each individual role. Here's how we are fixing a predatory pricing scheme that favors the firms, not the client.

Step into the future of executive search with Fairantee™, where every role gets the individual attention it deserves, without a one-size-fits-all price tag.

Find Your Fairantee™

Dynamic Pricing Based on Real Factors

We consider a variety of factors such as location, industry demand, and work arrangement.

Tailored Quotes for Every Role

Pricing reflects the actual work and expertise involved in each search, creating a system that is fairer to you.

A Focus on Value, Not Salary

Pricing is based on the degree of difficulty and other factors, no more of a "one size fits all" approach.

Our Solutions

Ways We Can Partner

Whether it is an ad hoc search, building a pipeline for a growing team, or scaling across your organization,
we offer our clients various ways to work with us that align with their needs and budget.

Ad Hoc Executive Search

Individual retained search engagements for talent needs at the director level and above. Searches vary across corporate functions for leaders and individual contributors.

CTE Ambassador

CTE Ambassador is a proactive talent pipelining program that finds the talent your organization is seeking before you have the need. Candidates may know your product, but do they know your culture or what it’s like to work there? We find the best talent out there and tell them exactly what makes your organization fantastic so when there is a role, you’re engaging with someone who is already interested.

CTE OneWin™

Is your business facing multiple hiring challenges? OneWin™ is CTE’s subscription model supporting organizations with at least 3 roles over at least 3 months. Your dedicated search team has an opportunity to develop an in-depth understanding of your organization, delivering even better results while reducing your costs relative to individual search engagements.

Board Search

CTE excels at sourcing diverse, underappreciated executives for board roles, particularly those pursuing their first for-profit board seat. It’s not just about talent. CTE works to identify candidates with additive skillsets and collaborative mindsets, ready to hit the ground running.
