Outplacement & career transition
Support people through what comes next.
When employees are leaving your organization, practical career support can help them take their next steps with clearer direction and stronger materials.
Your organization pays for the program; each employee receives individual support. This is a separate service from recruiting for your vacancies, without a promise of a new job.

Discuss Employee Support →A simple distinction
Need introductions, or someone to manage the process?
Choose $490 recruiting support when your team can handle interviews and offers, but needs help finding and screening candidates. One role is fine. Three is the maximum, not a requirement.
Choose contingency for a priority hire when you want help through interviews and offers, with a fee tied to the candidate starting.
Choose fractional when you need regular help working alongside your team and managing more of the recruiting process.
Every search is different. We agree realistic priorities and keep you informed, without promising a fixed number of candidates or a guaranteed hire.
What an introduction can look like
More context than a profile link.
An introduction should help you decide whether a conversation is worthwhile. I focus on relevant experience, the fit with your requirements, and anything worth exploring further.
Illustrative template only. This is not a real candidate, client result, or completed search.
[Candidate] for [your role]
- Why consider them
- [A concise explanation of how their background relates to your agreed requirements.]
- Relevant experience
- [Experience discussed during screening, with useful examples and the source clearly identified.]
- Practical fit
- [Candidate-stated location, availability, and compensation expectations, where confirmed.]
- Questions to explore
- [Any gaps, open questions, or points for your interview. Unknowns stay clearly marked.]
- Your next step
- [Review the introduction and decide whether you would like to arrange an interview.]
For 14-Day Recruiting Support, your team handles interviews and offers. Contingency and fractional services include the additional coordination agreed for that service.
How 14-day support works
A focused cycle. Clear responsibilities.
Before we begin
Align on the roles
Share the requirements, location, compensation, and priorities. We confirm fit and a start date after payment and the initial requirements are received.
During your cycle
Source and screen
I approach relevant candidates, assess fit, and introduce suitable people. Your team takes over interviews, selection, and offers.
As priorities change
Swap an active role
Replace filled, paused, or canceled roles at any time. Keep up to three searches active, without restarting the current cycle.
Before day 14 ends
Review and decide
Receive a progress update and choose whether to renew. There is no automatic renewal. If you stop, I relay existing candidate replies for seven more days; new sourcing ends.
Why Ace Hunter
You're not handing the search to an account manager.
I'm Arturo Vicarioli. I've spent more than 10 years recruiting, headhunting, screening candidates, working with hiring managers, and seeing why searches succeed or stall.
When you work with Ace Hunter, you're working directly with the recruiter running the search. That matters because recruiting is not just finding profiles. It is understanding who is worth approaching, why good candidates would move, what hiring managers really need, and what will move the search forward.
My aim is to make hiring clearer and more manageable, with support that fits your team and budget.View my recruiting background on LinkedIn →Talk Through a Role With MeEmployer FAQ
Clear expectations before we start.
What does the $490 service cover?
Intake, targeted sourcing, recruiter screening, and suitable candidate introductions for up to three active roles per client. You handle interviews, selection, negotiations, and offers. There is no placement fee, including if you hire an introduced candidate later.
Can we change the roles during a cycle?
Yes. You can run one, two, or three searches. Replace a role whenever it is filled, paused, canceled, or no longer a priority. The limit is three active roles at a time, not three roles forever. Switching roles does not restart the 14-day cycle.
When does the 14-day cycle begin and renew?
The $490 fee is paid upfront. The 14-calendar-day cycle starts on the agreed date after payment and the initial role requirements are received. You receive an update before the cycle ends and choose whether to renew. Renewal is manual, not automatic.
What happens if we do not renew?
New sourcing stops when the paid cycle ends. For the following seven days, I forward outstanding replies from candidates already contacted. You can continue directly with introduced candidates, with no additional placement fee.
How does the 5% contingency fee work?
For a separate, agreed contingency search, the fee is 5% of the hire’s first-year annual base salary, excluding bonuses, commission, and benefits, plus applicable tax. It becomes payable when the candidate starts and is due within 15 days. If the candidate does not start, no placement fee is due.
When should we choose a fractional recruiting partner?
Choose fractional support when you want an embedded partner working with your team across the full process, including interview coordination, candidate communication, salary negotiation, and support through offer acceptance. We agree the scope, reserved capacity, and a custom monthly rate before starting.
Who pays for career transition support?
The employer pays $495 per participating employee, plus applicable tax. Each employee receives a 30-day program starting at their kickoff. Coaching conversations and personal details stay confidential; only agreed participation or completion updates are shared with the employer.
Can you guarantee a hire or a new job?
No. Recruiting support is a commitment to the agreed work, not a guaranteed hire, shortlist size, or fixed hiring timeline. Career transition support provides practical tools and coaching, not a guaranteed job offer.
What roles and locations do you support?
Recruiting services are for U.S. employers hiring for U.S.-based roles. My strongest recruiting background includes technology, sales, operations, and leadership. I confirm fit and requirements before accepting a search.
