What a company needs changes as the company changes.

01 / Seed

Seed

A straight line. One point of start. Then it grows.

The company is still a small set of decisions. The search is for the founding leadership that can hold a real shape.

02 / Series A–B

Series A–B

An advisor joins lines that are already running.

Leadership has to scale faster than the org chart. Senior expertise joins without waiting for a full-time seat.

03 / Growth

Growth

Tech, product, and go-to-market rise and crest together.

Growth-stage companies need leaders across domains — people who can run the system, not only start it.

04 / Scale

Scale

One line becomes the whole system.

Late-stage cadence, portfolio leadership, and capital — debt, equity, or both — for the transaction ahead.

Rigour before recommendation.

Three-Stage Dexterous Method. Assessment, sourcing, and hiring, tailored to the company’s long-term vision rather than a generic seat.

A wide field. No name has been chosen.

Deep Dive

Project briefing, profiling, and a sourcing strategy aligned to stage and culture. Market intelligence before names.

The field thins until a first set remains.

Targeted Engagement

A pipeline read through COSMIC — culture, operational excellence, behaviour, and the first set, not a long list.

One path is carried through into the work.

Seamless Close

Selection support, the offer, and onboarding. The mandate is finished when the leader is actually in the work.

COSMIC

Six letters. One assessment.

COSMIC is Frequency’s leadership assessment framework. It reads culture fit, operational excellence, behaviour under pressure, mastery, emotional intelligence, and leadership presence — used to evaluate the first set, not to inflate a long list.

How we work

Culture

Assessing a candidate’s resonance to the ecosystem — beliefs about work and leadership in relation to the company’s mission.

Hiring framework

Chief

Visionary leaders who take initiative, inspire teams, delegate effectively, and cultivate a collaborative environment.

07Thinking

Thinking at Frequency.

Premise

We combine behavioral psychology, data intelligence, and market signals to help organizations make better leadership decisions.

Frequency stays with the company for the leadership hire and for the capital that follows — debt, equity, or both.
