For executive search firms

Every candidate dossier, done your way.

Mycel is an AI team for retained search firms. It turns each interview into the appraisal your clients expect, writes the weekly progress memo, and keeps both waiting for your yes.

Four searches means forty dossiers.
Mycel carries the write-up with you.

Another interview to write up. Another weekly memo to the client. Another reference to chase. The partner can run only as many searches as the associate can document.

Model the time in your monthly client work.

    per finalist

    Leadership, track record, motivation, compensation and fit, from your interview notes and the CV, with each claim traced to its source.

  2. Weekly search progress memo

    weekly

    The funnel in five numbers, what the market is saying about the role, and why candidates passed.

  3. Role specification and scorecard

    per search

    The brief, the must-haves and the calibration scorecard, in your firm's format.

  4. Reference check write-up

    per finalist

    What each referee said, where it agrees with the interview, and the one thing to probe.

  5. Candidate follow-ups

    until they answer

    Scheduling and next-step notes in your voice, through your mailbox.

  6. Retainer invoices

    per milestone

    Each third of the fee invoiced at its milestone, with a pay link and polite reminders.

Your firm’s favorite hire

Delivered under your firm's name

The client reads each dossier in a portal with your name on it, and says yes to the next round there.

Gets your retainer paid

Each milestone invoices itself with a pay link, and late ones get a polite reminder.

Chases references and candidates

Asks once, with a date, and nudges until the call is booked or the reference is in.

Learns your dossier format

Correct a section once and that structure holds for every search from then on.

Answers like your team

Ask which searches are stalling, who is waiting on a client decision, or what a candidate said about comp, and get it straight.
