Before we start working together, we want you to understand exactly how the collaboration works — the process, the fees, and what you can expect from us. No hidden terms, no bait-and-switch.
START A CONVERSATION
A typical engagement runs 2–4 weeks from first call to accepted offer. Here's exactly what happens at each step.
We get on a call to understand the role, the team, the tech stack, and what "good" looks like for you. No forms, no intake decks.
We search our network and databases, then run technical screening calls with candidates. We verify skills — not just what's on a CV.
You receive 3–5 screened profiles with a written recommendation for each. First shortlist in 5–7 business days, guaranteed.
We coordinate interviews, collect feedback after each round, and keep the process moving. No chasing, no dropped balls.
We help you put together a competitive offer and manage the negotiation to avoid last-minute dropouts.
We stay in contact through the guarantee window. If anything goes wrong, we act — not ignore.
Transparent, simple, and tied to results. No registration fees. No hidden charges.
Contingency
We take on all the risk. You're not exclusive to us — you can run other agencies in parallel. Best for standard mid-level roles where speed matters more than depth. The tradeoff: we're running multiple searches simultaneously, so our focus is distributed.
Retained
You pay in three stages. In return: you're our only priority for that role, we approach passive candidates (not just those already applying), we guarantee confidentiality, and the search goes deeper. For senior, leadership, or niche roles — it's not about cost, it's about not making the wrong hire.
Both models deliver the same quality of candidates. The difference is risk allocation and search depth, not effort.
If the hire doesn't work out within the guarantee window, we re-run the search at no additional cost.
If the hire leaves or doesn't work out within the guarantee period, we search again — no invoice.
We deliver the first screened shortlist within 7 business days of the brief call. If we can't, we'll tell you why before the deadline.
Every profile we send has been technically screened. We never pad shortlists to show activity.
We update you every week with pipeline status, candidate feedback, and market intelligence — even when there's nothing new to report.
Good recruitment is a partnership. Here's what makes it work on both sides.
No, for contingency search. You can work with other agencies in parallel — though in practice, exclusivity for 2–3 weeks gets you faster and more focused results. Retained search requires exclusivity by its nature.
If a candidate applies directly to you and we haven't introduced them, no fee applies. We only invoice for candidates we sourced or screened first.
That's exactly what the guarantee is for. If the candidate leaves within the guarantee period (for any reason other than redundancy on your side), we re-run the search at no cost.
Yes. After 12 weeks of contracting, no conversion fee applies. Before 12 weeks, a reduced placement fee is agreed at the start of the contract.
We process candidate data under legitimate interest for recruitment purposes. All candidates consent to their data being shared with client companies for the roles they apply for. We don't share data beyond the specific role without explicit consent.
30-minute call. No commitment. We'll tell you honestly if we can help.
