Kerry founded K2 to do search differently — and openly. Two decades placing people across Canterbury's NFP, sport, engineering and environmental organisations taught him the wrong hire is almost always a process failure, not bad luck.
So he gives a single search his full attention, runs it on evidence, and prices it as a fixed fee you agree before he starts. A partner, not a supplier.
