what we do
retained search
A retained search practice for elite organizations and the exceptional people who lead them. Every engagement is vetted before it's accepted, built on a defined process and real timelines. Cody leads every search personally, from the first conversation through placement and beyond, with a structured 90-day integration period available throughout.
Search here isn't limited to the C-suite. It's built for any professional role complex enough to deserve real thought, from a first-ever General Manager at a 110-year-old private club, to a board member of an organization building the future of AI.
career agent
For professionals, Jester also works the other way, as a confidential agent. This is a private, one-on-one relationship built around your career, not a transaction. No public job search, no application into a black hole, no résumé competing with hundreds of others.
Finding genuinely interesting work is its own full-time pursuit. This is for professionals with uncommon paths who'd rather not walk them alone and want a partner who'll tell them the truth about an opportunity, including when it isn't the right one, even if it's tempting to say yes anyway.
