Private equity and corporate talent teams trust NorthCap to source, vet, and reach executives — with verified contact info on every candidate and shortlists delivered in days, not months.
Retained search firms hand you a rolodex and an invoice. We give you a custom-built shortlist, verified contacts, compensation data, and managed outreach — for a fraction of the fee.
A streamlined four-step engagement that moves at the speed of your deal cycle.
We unify the industry's leading executive data sources, every public filing, and real-time market signals into a single workflow — so your shortlist reflects the whole market, not one firm's relationships.
Most searches deliver a qualified shortlist within 72 hours of the kickoff call. A full engagement — from brief to interview-ready candidates — typically runs two to four weeks, depending on the seniority of the role and the depth of the outreach campaign.
Retained search is slow, opaque, and built on a single partner's personal rolodex — and typically costs 25–33% of the candidate's first-year compensation. We use data coverage most firms don't have access to, deliver shortlists in days instead of months, and our engagements cost a fraction of retained fees.
Yes. We focus on senior leadership searches where candidate quality and verified contact data matter most — typically Director through C-suite. We're especially strong on functional leaders (CFO, CRO, COO, Head of) and PE portfolio company placements.
Every engagement is custom-scoped to the role and the outreach scope. We offer both retainer and per-placement models, and we're happy to walk through pricing in a 20-minute call. No commitment required.
Yes. Shortlisted candidates can be pushed directly into your Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, or other ATS pipeline, with full notes, verified contact data, and outreach history attached. ATS sync is included with Professional and Enterprise engagements.
Always. We operate under mutual NDA with every engagement. We never share client briefs, shortlists, or pipeline data — and we never approach candidates you've previously engaged without explicit permission.
A 20-minute call is all it takes to scope your next executive hire. Bring the role — we'll walk you through the shortlist you can expect, the timeline, and the investment. No pitch, no pressure.
