Not a talent agency. Not a consultancy. A partner that aligns talent with organisations — and stays accountable for the outcome.
We started Vector because we saw the same problem, over and over: great candidates placed in the wrong organisations, or placed correctly but abandoned after placement.
The talent industry measures success at placement. We measure success at 12 months. That's the only metric that matters — because that's when real integration is complete.
The Vector CSI Model is the result of that belief, translated into a structured process that applies to every division, every mandate, every client.
"Real partnership doesn't end at placement. It starts there."
Every engagement at Vector includes a structured post-placement follow-up — 30, 90 and 180-day check-ins to ensure the integration is on track and course-correct if it isn't.
A hire is only successful when the person is truly integrated into the organisation — contributing, aligned and growing. Placement is the beginning, not the end.
Skills are necessary but not sufficient. Culture, leadership style and long-term ambition must align — or the match will fail regardless of the CV.
We tell clients when a mandate is harder than expected. We tell candidates when a role isn't right for them. Honest assessment is the foundation of every long-term partnership.
We commit to outcomes, not activity. If an integration isn't working, we address it — proactively. That's what 12-month follow-up means in practice.
After 20+ years in headhunting, we'd seen every version of the opportunistic model. We built Vector because we refused to keep working that way.
After more than two decades in executive search, Michel has seen every variation of the transactional playbook —
the same mandate given to five firms simultaneously, stacks of CVs sent without context,
candidates placed and forgotten the moment the invoice was paid.
He built Vector around a different conviction: that you cannot find the right person for an organisation
you don't truly understand. His approach starts with listening — to the values, the culture,
the unwritten rules that make a team work. Only then does the search begin.
With 20+ years in talent management and human integration, Linda brings the structured,
human-centric perspective to every Vector engagement.
She is convinced that sustainable placement is impossible without genuine partnership —
the kind that requires truly understanding a client's values, norms and ambitions before proposing anyone.
Linda co-designed the CSI methodology and holds Vector to its core promise:
no rushed CV sends, no opportunistic mandates, no shortcuts.
If you can't look a client in the eye and own the outcome, you shouldn't take the mandate.
We've both spent more than two decades in this industry. We've seen companies hand the same mandate to three, four, five firms at the same time — purely opportunistic, a race to send the first CV. We refused to keep working that way.
To truly integrate talent into an organisation, you must first understand that organisation from the inside. Its values. Its culture. The emotions behind the decisions. The unspoken expectations. You can't do that if you're working five mandates simultaneously with five other firms.
That's why Vector works exclusively and with full accountability. Ownership over the outcome. Trust over speed. Integration over transaction.
Vector is built to grow. We are looking for like-minded partners who share our conviction that talent integration requires deep client relationships, full accountability and a long-term perspective. If that sounds like you — let's talk →
