Partner — Executive Search (Independent Practice, Global Platform)
The best thing about being independent is you have no one to answer to.
The worst thing is you have no one to think with.
Running your own search practice gives you autonomy, ownership of your client relationships and the freedom to work your market your way.
What independence can take away is the colleague who's seen the same situation before, the partner who can take the other half of a cross-border mandate, the sense that your practice is part of something with more reach than your own diary.
Zensho exists for exactly that. We are a global executive search platform whose Partners are established, independent search professionals across the UK, Europe, US, Japan and Australia, working across sectors including Life Sciences, Legal, Technology, Finance and Public Affairs.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What stays the same
Everything that made you go independent in the first place. Your clients remain your clients. Your niche remains your niche. You still decide how you work whether it's retained, contingency, interim or project-based. You keep the substantial majority of what you bill. There is no manager, no desk, no imposed methodology.
What changes
You stop operating alone. As a Zensho Partner you gain:
- Partners to think with. Experienced search professionals across sectors and markets who you can talk to for a second opinion on a tricky shortlist, a sanity check on a pitch, or simply people who understand the work.
- Collaboration and shared mandates. When a search calls for capability you don't have in a sector, a seniority level, or a geography, you deliver it with a partner rather than declining it or referring it away.
- Global reach. When your client's next hire is in Tokyo, New York or Sydney, you have Partners on the ground to help you pursue and deliver it.
- A brand behind your name. Operating under a global platform gives you additional credibility and reach, particularly when competing for retained or international assignments.

Who this is for
Experienced search professionals who have already built an independent practice, or who are ready to make that move. You have your own client relationships, a defined market, and a track record of billing on your own judgement.
If you want to remain independent without operating alone, we should talk.
