welcome to Æther Studio

This model incentivizes both the client and recruiting partner to commit to the process without bearing all the upfront costs or risks. Combines elements of contingency and retained search, where an upfront fee is paid to start the search, and the balance is due upon completion. 

When to Engage:

+ For mid to senior-level positions that require more attention than a contingent search but don’t justify the intensity of a retained search.

+ When you are willing to invest in a better search process and engage recruiters to a more committed process.

Our search team firm works exclusively on your vacancy, which means dedicated resources and a deep, comprehensive search. Best for senior, executive, or highly specialized roles that have a significant impact on the company’s future. Recruiters act as consultants, offering market insights and detailed reports on the search process, including competitor analysis and candidate market conditions. 

When to Engage:

+ For C-level and top executive roles or highly specialized technical positions where the right fit is crucial.

+ When the position requires a discrete search to avoid market speculation or when targeting candidates from direct competitors.

+ When you need a dedicated partner who can commit the time and resources to fill a critical position with a high degree of professionalism and confidentiality.

A pre-screened roster of senior leaders, rising executives, and uniquely positioned professionals who’ve chosen Elevate Studio as their trusted talent representation. These individuals aren’t in search mode. They’re in residence — grounded in their expertise, selective about what’s next, and trusting us to facilitate the right connection when the time calls for it.

When to Engage:

+ For C-level and top executive roles or highly specialized technical positions where the right fit is crucial.

+ When the position requires a discrete search to avoid market speculation or when targeting candidates from direct competitors.
