APPOINTPlacement Data
by Government Sector
Twelve years of search data across every major federal cluster. Bars represent share of total senior placements per sector. Retention measured at 24 months post-appointment.
Placements on Record.
Results, not narratives.
Each engagement is documented with the same rigor we apply to the search itself — role specification, search timeline, candidate pool, and verified retention outcome.

Four Phases.
No wasted motion.
Our process was designed for roles where a misfire has institutional consequences — not quarterly ones. Every phase has a deliverable. Every deliverable has a deadline.
Position Intelligence Brief
We build a classified-grade intelligence brief on the role — not a job description, but a mandate profile. What the agency actually needs versus what the PD says.
Targeted Candidate Identification
We map the universe of qualified candidates across active service, think tanks, academia, and adjacent private sector — then narrow to those with the security posture and political acuity the role demands.
Structured Assessment & Vetting
Each candidate undergoes a structured competency assessment against the mandate profile. References are verified at the SES level, not delegated to junior staff.
Appointment & Transition Support
We remain engaged through the first 90 days — onboarding support, stakeholder mapping, and a 24-month check-in protocol that explains our retention numbers.
