Why we stay close after placement — and how that improves outcomes The work does not really end when an offer is signed.   In senior hiring, some of the most important moments happen after a decision is made: 1. Notice periods and counteroffers 2. Onboarding and expectation-setting 3. Early questions that people may not raise formally 4. The first few months where fit gets tested in practice   Staying close through that part of the process is not about hand-holding. It’s about improving outcomes.   A hire is more likely to land well when both sides still have a trusted person helping them navigate the grey areas. That matters even more in the markets we work in, where moves are often sensitive and the stakes are high.   At Circle Square, we see good search as a process with an outcome — not just a transaction with a finish line.
