The discipline determines the sourcing lens and the credential-verification depth. The workflow stays the same across all twelve disciplines: a structured brief, a considered search, a ranked shortlist and end-to-end offer support. Same consultant from intake through day-90 follow-up.
We arrive at intake ready. We already know the discipline, the credential ecosystem, the package bands in USD across the US regions, the seasonal timing considerations and the passive-market context. Your time on intake is spent on your site, your plant palette and the team you want to build.
We approach our network and the passive market. Client identity is withheld until you give express permission. Approaches to a candidate’s current employer are coordinated with you before we make them, particularly where the horticultural community in a given region is small enough that a sloppy approach signals to competitors.
Three to five candidates per brief, credential-verified, with written notes on each. Current package in USD, notice period, non-compete position and any competing processes documented before introduction. We rank the shortlist and explain our ranking. We do not send a stack of unfiltered resumes.
We coordinate interviews, manage feedback, structure the offer (including housing, vehicle and tool-allowance components where relevant), handle counter-offer conversations and confirm start-date logistics around the growing calendar. Follow-up check-ins at day thirty and day ninety.
Roles outside horticulture, landscape and grounds. If you ask us for a general finance director or an office administrator, we will refer you to a suitable generalist firm. Depth of focus inside the green industry is what makes our shortlists arrive faster and better matched than a generalist agency can manage.
