International senior search · UK & Europe
Your role is stuck.
We unstick it.
We fill the senior roles nobody else can close. First tangible results from 72h, one flat fee, paid only when you actually hire.
We reply the same working day.
The problem
A senior role open for months is a quiet disaster.
The team absorbs the gap, the project waits, and the cost never shows up on a single line of the P&L. Meanwhile the CVs keep arriving and none of them are the one.
- 01The workaround becomes permanentYour best people absorb the gap. Then they start looking too.
- 02Volume instead of judgementFifteen CVs isn't a shortlist. It's the search pushed back onto you.
- 03The percentage fee works against you20–25% of salary means the agency earns more by pushing the expensive candidate.
- 04Nobody carries the risk but youRetainers get paid whether the seat gets filled or not.
How it works
A search engine, not a phone and a database.
It's why we can be this fast, this consistent, and still charge a flat fee.
Market mapping, not job boards
We map everyone who can genuinely do the job, including the people who aren't looking and will never see your advert.
One framework, every candidate
Competency evidence, motivation, salary reality, notice period, drop-out risk. A structured evaluation against the real brief, sharpened by AI, not a keyword sort.
Efficiency is why the price is fair
A system with no wasted motion costs less to run. That saving becomes a fixed fee instead of a percentage of someone else's salary.
One owner, end to end
The system absorbs the volume, so your search keeps one owner from the first call to the signed offer, instead of being spread thin across forty roles.
- ScopeOne call. If the brief is unrealistic, you hear it that day.
- SearchThe market mapped, then direct approach.
- AssessSame structured evaluation, everyone, every time.
- ShortlistUsually three names, each with the case and the challenge.
- Land itOffer, counter-offer, notice, first ninety days.

Expertise
Our specialism isn't a sector. It's the hard search.
The system doesn't care about the job title, it cares whether the role is difficult. If yours isn't listed, ask anyway: worst case, you get a clear no in ten minutes.

AntoineFounder · FeatBiz
FeatBiz was founded by Antoine: six years placing senior tech and specialist talent, starting on one of the most competitive recruitment markets in Europe, with a finance and IT-controlling background from a previous life inside a large corporate group.
He is also a certified junior Python developer. Junior, and we say so rather than dress it up. It means a technical profile gets read for the substance of what someone has built, not for the keywords on the page.
Straight answers
The questions people actually ask.
What happens if you don't find anyone?
You pay nothing. There's no retainer and no search fee, so an unsuccessful search costs you a scoping call and some feedback time. The risk sits with us, that's the point of the model.
Why a flat fee instead of a percentage?
A percentage quietly pays us more for pushing the most expensive candidate, and charges you more for identical work simply because the band is higher. A fixed fee removes the conflict.
How fast is realistic?
Within 72 hours of the scoping call you get first tangible results: a concrete read on your market, the first names identified, and the sourcing already running. That is a real deliverable, not a status update, but it is not the finished shortlist. The full assessed shortlist follows, and most searches reach an accepted offer in three to six weeks, depending on how quickly your interview process runs. If the brief is unfillable at the salary on offer, you hear that on day one rather than in month three.
What does "assessed" actually mean?
Every candidate goes through the same structured evaluation of fit against your brief, supported by AI tooling, so each one is read the same way and can be compared side by side rather than on gut feel. You see the reasoning behind each name, not an adjective.
Who actually runs my search?
One dedicated owner, from the first call to the signed offer. No account manager, no handoff, no junior learning on your vacancy. The system handles the volume that usually eats a recruiter's day, so your role gets worked on rather than queued behind forty others.
Do you require exclusivity?
No. Run us alongside your internal team or another agency. We'd rather earn the seat than lock it.
What if the person doesn't work out?
We replace them, free, within the guarantee window: one month on Essential, four months on Secure, three months in Switzerland. One search, one fee.
What happens after the first hire?
Most searches are the start of a working relationship. If the first hire works, the next role runs on the same terms, with the same person who already knows your business, your stack and your bar. No re-briefing from scratch.
Which countries do you cover?
The United Kingdom and Europe. We work where we know the salary realities and the notice-period cultures well enough to advise on them, which is exactly why we don't claim to cover everywhere. Tell us where the role sits and you get a straight answer on day one.
