Critical leadership hires demand more than speed.

They demand method.

Critical leadership hires demand more than speed.

They demand method.

Many executive search firms still rely on static networks, legacy processes and slow timelines. Method takes a different approach.

We operate a contemporary, highly connected executive search model designed for today’s leadership market. Backed by enterprise-grade research, technology and market intelligence, our team maintains constant visibility of senior and C-suite talent across industries.

By combining the reach and rigour of a large search operation with the agility and care of a boutique firm, we deliver executive appointments with precision, pace and purpose.

Our retained search model is designed to remove risk from critical leadership appointments.



With clear governance, structure and accountability at every stage, our approach is proactive by design. We map leadership markets continuously, engage executives well ahead of need, and act with precision when alignment is clear — reducing time-to-appoint without compromising rigour.

Our retained search capability spans leadership and specialist appointments across:

• Executive & C-Suite
• Technology & Transformation Leadership
• Finance & Commercial Leadership
• Risk, Compliance & Governance
• Sales, Marketing & Growth Leadership
• People & Culture Leadership

Each search is tailored to the organisation’s scale, maturity and strategic priorities, not driven by job titles alone.

Retained search is the right model when leadership decisions demand focus, discretion and certainty. We don’t run multiple searches at once. We commit fully to the outcome.

Method is engaged when organisations need confidence, not volume.

Diversity and inclusion are critical to effective governance, risk management and long-term organisational performance. Leadership teams that reflect broader perspectives are better positioned to navigate complexity, drive innovation and deliver sustainable outcomes.

Method embeds diversity and inclusion into every retained executive search through structured, evidence-based processes. Our capability is strengthened by Jane Bithell, Associate Director of Diversity & Inclusion, who brings over 15 years’ experience across executive recruitment, diversity strategy and inclusive workforce design in the Australian market.

Working alongside our search partners, Jane supports market mapping, shortlist calibration and decision-making to ensure leadership appointments are rigorous, inclusive and aligned to future-state requirements — without compromising on capability or performance.

For clients, this provides confidence that executive appointments are made with appropriate governance, independence and a modern leadership lens.
