Boutique
by design.
KOV intentionally caps the number of active searches at any time. That cap is the difference between a service and an agent — and it's why every client works directly with Daniel from intake through to offer.
- Direct line to Daniel for the full engagement
- Strict client cap on active searches
- No junior hand-offs, no offshore desks
- Confidentiality treated as the default

Work with Daniel —Why KOV Remains Boutique
The model is intentionally small.
KOV is not built to become a large-volume career service. The boutique model exists so that senior searches can receive direct attention, clear communication, and disciplined execution. The same founder-led philosophy supports both sides of the agency: representing professionals and sourcing senior talent for companies.
