We got tired of running a search firm on twenty browser tabs — so we built the one platform we wished existed, then opened it to recruiters like us.
We built it for ourselves first.
Brobston Group is an executive-search practice in luxury fashion and retail. For years we ran the business the way everyone does — a scheduler here, a sequencer there, a scraper, a CRM, a proposals tool, a dozen more. A Frankenstein stack of twenty subscriptions that never quite talked to each other.
So we built our own operating system for the firm: one data model, one login, one place the whole business lived. It worked. Recruiters we respected kept asking to use it. Eventually it stopped being an internal tool and became the platform.
A recruiting practice, not a software company.
Every feature was pressure-tested on real searches before it shipped. We know the workflow because it’s ours — and it’s why the guardrails niche recruiters need are first-class, not afterthoughts.
A commitment to niche recruiters.
Off-limits & DNR
Client agreements are honored live — on LinkedIn and at every send — because a breached off-limits list can end a relationship.
Confidentiality
Confidential searches publish with the company masked — discretion is the default, not a setting you have to remember.
Comp privacy
Compensation stays private where it should — sensitive by nature in executive search, and treated that way throughout.
