One-off hires

Contingency Placement

The short version

A full search for a one-off hire, with no upfront commitment. If we do not place someone, you do not pay a fee.

Who it is for

The right support for the work in front of you.

This fits companies hiring for a specific role that want experienced search support without starting a monthly engagement or paying before a successful placement.

What is included

  • Role intake and search strategy
  • Sourcing and candidate outreach
  • Screening and interview-ready shortlists
  • Fee based on a percentage of first-year base salary

How it works

A clear path from first conversation to useful work.

01

Get clear on the hire

We learn what the role actually needs, how the team works, and what will make a candidate successful after the hire.

02

Search and screen

We run the search, reach relevant candidates, and screen for the experience and working fit behind the resume.

03

Place the right person

You meet interview-ready candidates and make the call. The placement fee applies only when a hire is successfully made.
