How companies work with Nukhba

A short guide to the engagement — what we need from you, what we deliver, and what we won't do.

Most search firms pitch volume. We pitch fit! We don't flood you with CVs. We deliver a discreet, highly curated shortlist of 3 to 5 candidates who have been carefully identified, rigorously assessed, and are genuinely aligned with the role.

If that's the standard you expect, keep reading…

The intake

We start with a scoping call — the role, the team it sits inside, what success looks like in the first year, what you've tried already. The job description matters less than the context around it.

The shortlist

You get a small, written shortlist — usually three to five candidates — with notes on why each one fits and what the risks are. Every person on that list has been spoken with; nobody is there to pad the count.

What we won't do

Blast your role to a mailing list and call the responses a pipeline
Forward resumes we haven't read
Hide the candidates we rejected and why

Pricing and engagement

We work on retained and contingent terms depending on the seniority of the role. Fees and timelines are agreed in writing before the search starts — no surprises at offer stage.
