Flexible search options.
Clear expectations.

Your hiring priorities shape the way we work together. Our retained, engaged, and contingency search options offer different levels of commitment, with clearly defined fees and payment schedules so you know what to expect from the start.

We’re Selective

To provide you with the highest level of service, we only work with a few select companies at a time. This allows us to become thoroughly familiar with your company, people, product, work environment and expectations.

We Care

We believe our company is an extension of yours. A candidate’s first impression of your company often comes from us. Because we genuinely care that we match talented candidates with appropriate employers, we take the necessary time to get to know your specific needs. We only present a candidate to you after we have carefully screened him or her and determined that there is a good fit.

We’re Flexible

We know that your hiring needs and priorities can change overnight. We also understand that we may only be one of a number of resources that you may use for your HR strategy. That is why we’re flexible and offer a variety of services to help you meet your objectives.

Retained Search

Our top priority. This plan is for an urgent situation, or for a sensitive case in which confidentiality is paramount. We serve as your company’s directed recruiting resource. Fee is computed at 30% of the offer letter, which includes base salary and realistic bonus for the first year. You pay us one-third to initiate the search, one-third when the candidate accepts, and the remainder when the candidate begins employment.

Engaged Search

This is our next highest priority search and it takes precedence over all contingency searches. Fee is computed at 30% of the offer letter, which includes base salary and realistic bonus for the first year. You pay us one-third when we initiate the search, and the remaining two-thirds when the candidate begins employment.

Contingency Search

We refer candidates who most closely match your company’s requirements. If you hire someone we’ve presented, our fee is 30% of the offer letter that includes base salary and realistic bonus for the first year. If you hire someone through another source, no fee is due.
