FAQs

How do you source candidates for senior commercial leadership mandates?

At tml Partners, we take a research-led approach to every mandate. We map global markets in detail and combine this intelligence with our trusted international networks to identify leaders with a proven record in sales, business development, revenue operations, and growth strategy. Our active engagement with the commercial leadership community — through exclusive events and thought leadership — ensures unrivalled access to high-impact talent that traditional methods can’t reach.

What's the typical timeline for a commercial executive search?

Each search is different, but most are completed within 6–8 weeks, depending on seniority and complexity. Our streamlined process balances thorough due diligence with speed and discretion. For a fractional or interim role, this process is often quicker to enable an immediate impact.

We have a sensitive leadership role to fill. How do you ensure confidentiality?

Confidentiality sits at the heart of every search we run. For sensitive mandates, we approach candidates discreetly through trusted networks and carefully control the flow of information at every stage. Role details are only shared with mutual agreement, and it is standard practice for all potential candidates to sign an NDA before any substantive discussions. This ensures both client and candidate interests are fully protected throughout the process.
