For senior commercial talent
A retained, highly personalised search partnership for senior commercial operators who refuse to let their next move be driven by a junior generalist with a CV and a quota. No CV uploaded anywhere. No scattergun outreach. One laser-focused next position that aligns with both your career and your lifestyle goals.
How this is different
You are not on a database. You are not a CV being shopped around. You are a retained engagement, run personally by Rachel Lunn, with a defined process, a defined output and a defined commitment to confidentiality at every step.
Built against the alternative
The default route looks like this. A junior or generalist recruiter you have never met messages you on LinkedIn. They have not run the role you do. They cannot pressure-test the business they are pitching. They want your CV, today, so they can paste it into a workflow alongside fifty others and see what sticks. Six weeks later you are deep in a process you should never have started, for a business that was never the right fit, with your name now visible to half the market.
Most senior commercial moves are not made for bad reasons. They are made for short-term, reactive ones. A bad quarter. A new boss. A counter-offer. A flattering inbound. Twelve months later you are looking again, and the market has noticed.
Confidential Career Search exists because senior commercial talent deserves better than that. Discreet. Strategic. Run by an operator. Anchored to where you are actually trying to get to over the next five years.
Free to the right candidates
The service is free of charge to you. Evara is paid by the employer at the point a hire is made, the same way a retained search works on the recruitment side. Nothing is invoiced to you, at any stage, ever.
In return, this is offered selectively. We only run a Confidential Career Search where the candidate, the level and the long-term direction genuinely fit what our client base is hiring for.
Eligibility, in plain terms
One short, confidential conversation with Rachel decides whether we take the brief on. If it is not the right fit, we will say so directly and point you to where it is, including to Rich's Bespoke Career Search where the brief sits at CRO, MD or board level.
Built for
The process
Step 1
A proper commercial and personal audit, before any conversation with the market. The point is clarity before movement.
Step 2
Most strong commercial people undersell themselves. We sharpen how the market reads you, before the market sees you.
Step 3
A professionally written, anonymous, market-facing profile pack designed to position you properly with high-quality businesses before your identity is revealed. Not a CV. A commercial document.
Step 4
Instead of applying everywhere, we build a focused hit list of the businesses where you would genuinely thrive. Highly targeted. No scattergun.
Step 5
This is where most recruiters stop and where Evara starts. We proactively open conversations with decision-makers, founders and investors where there is strong alignment, including opportunities that are not publicly advertised. No mass outreach. No sending profiles around. Every conversation handled confidentially and strategically.
Step 6
Your time is not wasted in pointless interview processes. Every opportunity is pressure-tested against the criteria agreed in step one.
Step 7
The move itself matters as much as the offer. You are supported through every stage of the conversation, the offer and the first 90 days in the new seat.
Who this is for
You are already performing. You are not in a rush. You are not putting your CV on a job board. You want one move, well, that fits both your career direction and your life.
Who this is not for
That is not a judgement. It is just a different problem and a different service.
Confidential by default
One short, confidential conversation with Rachel Lunn. No CV required at this stage. If it is the right fit, we agree the brief and the engagement. If it is not, we shake hands and you have lost nothing.
