We built Audentia around a simple conviction: the best talent decisions come from independent research, not from a placement fee. That single choice changes how we engage, what we can access, and what you keep when the work is done.
Contingent recruitment is paid to close a placement, so it optimises for the placement. A research-first model is paid for the research itself — which frees us to engage passive talent traditional recruiters never reach, ask the questions contingent search can't afford to, and hand back intelligence your business keeps using long after the project closes.
Thirty focused minutes to understand the role or the question, the market it sits in, your timeline, and what a genuinely good outcome looks like for you. No pitch — a working conversation.
We scope the right service — or combination of services — against a single transparent project fee. You see exactly what's included and what it costs before anything begins. No ambiguity, no fee at the finish line.
Function-specialist researchers get to work, with regular progress updates and full visibility throughout. You own the data as it's built — nothing sits in a black box you can't see into.
Every contact, profile, map and insight is handed back to you in full. The intelligence we build keeps working for your business long after the engagement formally closes — and it's yours to reuse, forever.
No placement fee means no hidden incentive. Our only job is to give you the most complete, honest picture of the market — even when the answer isn't the convenient one.
Every candidate, contact and insight we produce belongs to you. Nothing is locked inside a proprietary database we control and rent back to you later.
A fixed project fee agreed up front, progress you can see throughout, and no surprise invoice at the end. You always know where a project stands.
Researchers organised by function and geography — finance, technology, life sciences, operations — not generalists stretched thin across every sector at once.
Registered in the UK and India, operating across 70+ markets and every major time zone — so research keeps moving while your team is offline.
We work as an extension of your team, not a vendor at arm's length. Real communication, shared context, and a genuine stake in getting it right.
They mapped our entire senior market, made the hires we needed, and then handed us the whole dataset. A year on we're still using it — that's the part no contingent agency ever gave us.
