DGC Retained Executive Search, LLC places vetted contract and interim executives — CFO, CTO, COO, and VP-level — with candidates from our bench typically presented within 24 to 48 hours. No six-week search. No long-term commitment beyond the engagement itself.
You don't need a name on a shortlist in six weeks. You need someone credible in the seat by Monday.
Our bench of vetted contract and interim executives means we're matching against people we already know, not starting a search from zero. Most clients see candidate profiles within 24 to 48 hours of sharing the role, and engagements often begin within days once you've chosen someone.
Pricing is a straightforward weekly or hourly bill rate for the length of the engagement — no percentage-of-salary fee, no multi-month retained commitment. You pay for coverage while you need it, and scale down the moment you don't.
Contract and interim placement is built for coverage now, not a search that runs for months.
We move from role brief to candidate presentation in 24 to 48 hours — matching against a bench, not starting sourcing from a blank page.
Every candidate on our bench has been screened by a partner. Fast doesn't mean unvetted.
