Two ways to work with me.
Hiring for one critical role? Choose a focused search. Building out a team? Bring me in on retainer.
Focused contingency search
20% of first-year base salary
- $2,500–$5,000 deposit to begin, credited toward the final fee
- Kickoff within 24 hours
- A shortlist of screened candidates
- Refund guarantee if your hire leaves within 90 days
Embedded recruiting retainer
$12,000 per month
- A recruiter inside your team, 40 hours a week
- Up to 4 roles at once
- 2-month minimum, then month to month
- Works in your ATS and Slack

What sets my searches apart

I bring market intelligence.
You see what the market looks like before you commit.
Outreach people answer.
Personal messages, never mass messaging.
Questions
What does the deposit cover?
The deposit is $2,500 to $5,000, depending on the role. It covers the work to launch your search, is credited in full toward the 20% fee, and is non-refundable. If the search is paused, it stays credited toward a hire for 6 months.
When is the rest of the fee due?
When your hire starts. If they accept but never start, nothing more is due, and I keep searching.
How does the refund guarantee work?
If your hire resigns, or is let go for performance or conduct, within 90 days (180 for Director-level and above), you get part of the fee back. The sooner they leave, the more you get back.
What if the role changes, or we put the search on hold?
Tell me, and the search pauses at no extra charge. Your deposit stays credited toward a hire for 6 months, including if we restart with an updated role.
How does the embedded retainer work?
I work as a recruiter inside your team, 40 hours a week on up to 4 roles at once, for $12,000 a month. 2-month minimum, then month to month.
Full terms are set out in our client agreement.
