The hire a job post won’t find.

No search team in-house, and a seat that’s been open too long? That’s the gap we fill. We run the whole search for you, go after people who aren’t on the job boards, and only send you the ones worth interviewing.

Send us the job description

We’ll tell you straight whether it can be filled as written, at the pay and location you’re offering. No cost, no commitment.

01What you get

One page per candidate. Fit, risk, and what it takes.

A résumé tells you where someone’s been. Our one-page case tells you why they belong in your process, what could go wrong, and what it’ll take to hire them. It’s written before you spend any time interviewing them.

02How we work

What you can hold us to.

  1. 1

    A small number of searches

    We take on a limited number of searches at a time, and the person who takes your brief runs it to the end. It doesn’t get handed to someone junior once you’ve signed.

  2. 2

    A straight read before you commit

    Send the job description and we’ll tell you straight whether the role can be filled as written, and what we’d change if it can’t. Sometimes the honest answer is that we shouldn’t take it.

  3. 3

    People worth interviewing

    Expect [3–5] candidates, each with a one-page case. We handle the scheduling, the feedback and the offer conversation on both sides.

  4. 4

    We stay on after the start

    We check in with you and the new hire after they start.

What we won’t do

  • Send a résumé of someone we haven’t spoken to about your role.
  • Put anyone forward without their explicit consent.
  • Take on a search we don’t think we can fill.
  • Recruit people away from a company we’ve placed someone into. [CONFIRM POLICY AND TERM]

03Practices

Three kinds of hire we’re built for.

04How fees work

How fees work, in plain terms.

Model
Contingency. There’s no fee until you make a hire.
Fee
20% of the hire’s first-year salary.
Payment
Paid in installments, starting when your hire starts.
Replacement guarantee
45-day replacement guarantee.

Sending us a job description costs nothing and commits you to nothing. If we take the search on, the fee and terms are agreed in writing before any work starts.

05Who runs your search

The person on your first call runs your search.
