Five ways to work with us.
Whether you need to scale fast, evaluate before committing, or build for the long term, we have a model that fits.
Contract
Specialized talent for defined periods. Scale up or down based on workload. Ideal for campaign launches, seasonal surges, and interim roles.

Evaluate talent in your environment before a permanent offer. We handle payroll during the trial, then facilitate conversion to your team.

Senior attention on every search.
No junior coordinators, no handoffs. The person who takes your brief is the person who closes your hire. That is not common in this industry.
Market depth built over two decades.
Our creative and technology networks run deep. We know who is available, who is movable, and who is worth chasing. Job boards do not.
AI powered. Human reviewed.
We use the same AI tools the best talent teams in the world use. But every candidate is evaluated by a senior recruiter before it reaches you.
Quality over volume. Always.
We take fewer searches than most firms our size so we can do each one properly. That is the tradeoff we have always chosen.
We stay in it.
Our involvement does not end at placement. We check in with clients and candidates through the first 45 days because that is where placements succeed or fail.
Transparent by default.
We tell you where candidates came from, how they were evaluated, and why we submitted them. No black box. No surprises.
Market intelligence and comp range for any role.
Enter a role. Get comp range, time to fill, and market signal.
Work that has lasted.
6-YEAR ENGAGEMENTNike
A test project that became a formal, growing program team.
Nike came to 52 Limited with a test project in physical brand marketing. We built and managed the team from day one. Six years later the program is still running and growing, with scope that has expanded alongside the brand's physical marketing strategy.
ON-DEMAND STUDIOThe North Face
A cross-disciplinary studio team for one of the world's most iconic outdoor brands.
The North Face needed senior cross-disciplinary talent on a flexible basis. We assembled an adjunct studio team of project managers, creative leads, and Figma specialists. The on-demand studio continues as an ongoing flex engagement.
