Fairantee™: One Fair Price, Fixed Before the Search Begins

Fairantee™ is fixed-fee pricing for executive search. Our algorithm prices each engagement on the true complexity of the role: level, function, industry demand, location, and work arrangement. You receive a fixed fee before the search launches, and it never changes, even when the winning candidate’s compensation comes in higher.

Traditional firms charge a percentage of whatever your new hire earns. That structure rewards them for presenting expensive candidates. Fairantee™ removes the conflict: we are paid the same no matter who you hire, so the shortlist is built on fit, not fees.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fairantee™

1

What is Fairantee™?

Fairantee™ is CTE's fixed-fee pricing for executive search, powered by a proprietary algorithm and real market data. Instead of charging a percentage of your new hire's compensation, we set one fair price for the search before it begins.

2

How is my Fairantee™ calculated?

We price each role on the factors that determine actual search difficulty: level, function, industry demand, location desirability, work environment, and company profile. The result is a price tailored to your search, not a one-size-fits-all percentage.

3

Why not use traditional compensation-based fees?

Percentage fees reward search firms for presenting higher-paid candidates. Fairantee™ eliminates that conflict of interest. If we present a candidate with higher compensation demands, it is because they are the right fit, not because it pads our fee. Fairantee™ may not always be the lowest price, but it is always a fair one, grounded in real data.

4

How do I get my Fairantee™?

Submit the request form with your role details. We prepare your Fairantee™ and deliver it personally within one business day.

5

How long is a Fairantee™ valid?

Five business days from delivery. Market conditions move, and your price should reflect current data. If the window passes, request an updated Fairantee™ and we will refresh it.

6

Can Fairantee™ prices be negotiated?

No. The price is fixed to keep the model fair for every client. What you see is what you pay, from kickoff through placement.

7

What happens after I receive my Fairantee™?

We schedule a brief conversation to confirm the role details, then launch. Your fee is locked from that moment forward.
