Some roles need:

• Discretion
• Market mapping
• Direct outreach to specific talent pools

We handle such assignments with a search-led, not database-led approach.

Lateral Hiring vs Retained Executive Search

While retained search is designed for top leadership and mission-critical roles, lateral hiring is suited for:

• Strong leadership and specialist roles below CXO
• Roles where the market is more accessible
• Situations where speed and precision both matter

Both are executed with the same standards of professionalism and discretion.

Why Varion Partners

Clients work with Varion Partners for lateral hiring because:

• We apply search thinking, not transactional recruitment
• We are selective about assignments we take on
• We care about long-term fit, not short-term closure
• We operate with discretion and context sensitivity
