What you get

A clear success-based option for a priority hire.

For an agreed one-off priority position, I handle sourcing, screening, introductions, interview coordination, and candidate follow-up, with support through salary negotiation and the accepted offer.

This is separate from the $490 recruiting support service. The contingency fee is tied to the candidate starting work, rather than a fixed 14-day sourcing cycle.

Employer FAQ

What to know before we start.

What is included in the salary calculation?

Only the first-year annual base salary. Bonuses, commission, and benefits are excluded. For example, a $100,000 annual base salary means a $5,000 fee, plus applicable tax.

When is payment due?

The fee becomes payable when the candidate starts work and is due within 15 days of that start date. No fee is due if the candidate does not start.

Is contingency the same as the $490 service?

No. The $490 service covers introductions only, carries no placement fee, and is paid upfront per 14-day cycle. Contingency includes coordination through the offer and is success-based.

Is there a replacement or refund guarantee?

Any replacement arrangements and other search terms are agreed in writing before we begin. A replacement or refund is not automatically included.

Which locations do you recruit for?

Recruiting services are for U.S. employers hiring for U.S.-based roles. Search fit and requirements are confirmed before starting.
