Methodology
Four steps. No discovery calls.
Mandate intake, candidate onboarding, shortlisting, and coordinated introductions. Each step designed so both sides know what to expect.
Mandate intake
Define the role, committee scope, and success criteria in a confidential intake session before candidate work begins.
Candidate onboarding
Every candidate goes through a first-contact intake meeting to confirm background fit, availability, and interest.
Shortlist delivery
A focused, pre-aligned shortlist, typically ready within two weeks. Each profile includes a mandate-fit summary.
Coordinated introductions
Introductions are sequenced with full discretion. We coordinate meetings and keep both sides informed.

Why Fusio
Why boards choose boutique over Big 5.
Every director we introduce has been qualified against the mandate, not pulled from a list. Boards spend their time in introductions, not in screening calls.
Mandate-first, not database-first
We build the shortlist from your mandate requirements: committee fit, sector depth, availability, and governance stage. Not from who happens to be active in a database.
Confidential by design
Board searches require board-level discretion. Candidate names, company identity, and mandate details are protected from intake through close. Confidentiality is the baseline, not an add-on.
Both sides aligned before introductions
Candidates are onboarded before they appear on a shortlist. When introductions happen, both sides are prepared. No surprises, no wasted meetings.
Common questions
Answers for boards and leadership teams.
Most searches reach an initial shortlist within two weeks of mandate intake. Total time to placement depends on mandate complexity and board calendar availability, but the process is designed to move without unnecessary delays.
