Questions clients and candidates ask most often.
The goal is simple: clear answers before any commitment.
How is Caldwell different from a traditional recruiting agency?
We operate on a retained model with a limited client roster at any given time, so every search receives dedicated attention rather than competing against dozens of contingency assignments.
How do you handle confidential replacement searches?
Confidential searches are conducted quietly and without disclosing the client identity until an appropriate stage of the process.
Will my current employer find out I am exploring options?
No. Confidential search support is a core part of our candidate service. We do not disclose your activity without explicit permission.
Do you take a percentage of my salary?
No. Candidate services are flat-fee or session-based, agreed before you commit.
What markets do you cover?
United States, United Kingdom, Continental Europe, and UAE, with global search capability available for multi-region mandates.
What happens if a placed executive doesn't work out?
Retained searches include a 12-month replacement guarantee as detailed during the engagement kickoff.
