What is Retained Search?
Aspire's Retained Search is an exclusive partnership designed to de-risk your most important hires. We appoint a dedicated team of sector specialists to focus solely on your brief, moving beyond active applicants to map the entire market—including the "hidden" talent that isn't applying to job ads.
We act as an extension of your team. From designing the competency framework to building your Employee Value Proposition (EVP), we help you tell your story to win the elite performers who will drive your revenue.
