Retained-search quality. A fraction of the time and fee.
A traditional retained search runs 25 to 35 percent of first-year compensation and 90 to 120 days to shortlist. Sheldon anchors near a third of a typical retained fee, billed in thirds, and compresses research from weeks to minutes. The quality bar does not move.
You stay in control
Calibration checkpoints are built into the process: success profile, position spec, longlist, and shortlist each require your sign-off before anything advances.
Evidence, not opinion
Every recommendation carries its sources, scores with confidence levels, and the recorded human review behind it. You can audit any conclusion.
Speed where it matters
Company mapping, sourcing, and screening run at machine speed. The time you spend is spent on judgment, not on waiting for research.
Guarantee and follow-through
A 12-month replacement guarantee, structured onboarding check-ins, and outcome tracking that sharpens every subsequent search.
