Two starting points, one mutual match.
Whether a company starts the search or a leader spots the right problem, both paths end the same way: a confirmed mutual match and a one-time unlock fee.
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 & contract
Pay a one-time fee, receive full contact details, and agree terms directly.
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 & contract
The company pays the one-time fee to unlock contact details and connect directly.
Verification
Verification comes before either path.
Nothing is visible until our team has reviewed it, neither a company need nor a leader profile.
Leaders: professional history, references and availability are checked 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, ever.
