Two paths to direct contact. One clear process.
Whether a company starts the search or a leader spots a specific need, contact details stay protected until both sides confirm interest. Only then does the company decide on the one-time unlock.
Company-initiated
When a company starts the search.
Browse verified profiles
Search by function or by the problem you need solved.
Request contact
Send a request describing your situation. Nothing is shared yet.
Mutual match
The leader confirms interest before any contact details are exchanged.
Unlock contact details and agree directly
You pay the one-time unlock fee, receive full contact details, and agree scope, fee and duration directly with the leader.
Leader-initiated
When a leader spots the right problem.
Companies post a need
Companies describe a specific leadership gap: function, scope and timeline.
Leaders express interest
Verified leaders browse open needs and register interest in the ones that fit.
Mutual match
The company reviews interested leaders and confirms who they want to meet.
Unlock contact details and agree directly
The company pays the one-time unlock fee. From there, both sides agree scope, fee and duration directly with each other.
Verification
Verification comes before either path.
Neither a leader profile nor a company need becomes visible before our team has reviewed it.
Leaders: identity details, professional history and stated availability are reviewed before publication.
Companies: we confirm the organisation and the person posting on its behalf.
Verification is periodic, not a one-time gate at sign-up.
What Tessara is not
No agency margin, no consulting fee, no subscription.
Not a staffing agency
We do not employ or place leaders on assignment. You contract directly with each other.
Not a consultancy
Tessara does not deliver the mandate. The fractional leader does, directly with the company.
No ongoing commission
A single fixed fee unlocks contact details once. No percentage of the day rate and no commission on the value or duration of the mandate.
