Introducing Fairantee™:
The Future of Fair Pricing

Revolutionizing Recruiting

Fairantee revolutionizes executive search pricing by using an AI-powered algorithm that considers the true complexity of each individual role. Here's how we are fixing a predatory pricing scheme that favors the firms, not the client.

Step into the future of executive search with FairanteeTM, where every role gets the individual attention it deserves, without a one-size-fits-all price tag.

What People Say

We understand how challenging it
can be to navigate the talent market.

Here's how we have supported our clients:

  • "It’s not often you can find a talented and efficient executive search firm that speaks the language of your business. CTE has proven to be that firm. They have a gift for quickly establishing trusted relationships with hiring managers. This has resulted in reduced search times for our specialty searches. Creative Talent Endeavors is a huge asset to our talent team and truly an extension of our amazing brand."

    — Stacey Payne, Chief People Officer, Daily Harvest

  • "The partners at CTE understand what’s special about our roles and our company and have been able to (somehow magically) surface wonderful candidates whose qualifications and style match perfectly with what we need. In addition to finding great talent, the CTE team is also just a great group of human beings who are easy to work with and who we’ve loved partnering with and getting to know."

    — Michele Bousquet, Chief People Officer, Strava

  • "We've been delighted to engage CTE for several executive roles and we've been incredibly impressed with their sourcing, as well as their ability to connect with candidates. In terms of sourcing, CTE has met or exceeded the quality of boutique Bay Area recruiting firms we've used. As for connection with candidates, one successful executive hire told us that her interactions with CTE's recruiters were one reason she joined our company!"

    — Adrien Treuille, Co-Founder & CEO, Streamlit

  • “My first interaction with CTE was actually from the candidate side. They approached me about an opportunity that ended up being perfect for me at Chipotle. As a candidate, I was impressed by how well they understood, not only the role, but the long-term strategy and goals of the client. Through the entire process I felt well taken care of and I am grateful for the partnership with CTE that led me to such an incredible opportunity with a great brand.”

    — Nevielle J. Panthaky, Vice President Culinary and Menu Development, Chipotle
