24-MONTH GUARANTEE
Twenty-four months. Any reason. No additional charge.
Every Venn hire is covered for the full 24 months from the start date. If the hire leaves during that window, Venn re-runs the search at no additional cost.
WHY 24 MONTHS
A guarantee that matches the actual failure window.
Most recruiting firms guarantee their hires for 30 to 90 days. At the senior level, almost no failures surface in that window. The candidate is still in ramp; the hiring manager is still calibrating; the team is still adjusting. The failures that emerge — wrong-stage hire, hidden-context mismatch, founder-CEO chemistry problem — typically surface across months six through twenty-four.
Cumulative senior-hire attrition. Sources: Bureau of Labor Statistics; Corporate Executive Board research across ~30,000 leaders. Senior-hire failure rates have remained stable at 40–50% across long-running industry studies including Heidrick & Struggles and Leadership IQ. Methodology
The 24-month window is calibrated to cover the actual failure curve, not the convenient billing window. The guarantee period ends after most failures have surfaced. Hires that survive the 24-month window are statistically far more likely to stay through their typical tenure cycle, which is the firm’s structural commitment to the placement.
HOW IT WORKS
What happens if a hire doesn’t hold.
What triggers a re-run.
If the hire doesn’t work out at any point during the first 24 months — for any reason — Venn re-runs the search at no additional charge.
What the re-run delivers.
A fresh search, run to the same Position Profile and the same standard as the original — the full process again, end to end, producing a new ranked slate. The guarantee re-runs the search, not a token replacement name pulled from a list.
Why Venn stands behind it.
A guarantee this long changes the standard Venn is held to: not just a strong slate, but a hire who lasts. If the person you choose doesn’t work out, Venn runs the search again — so the incentive stays pointed in the same direction as yours.
