Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with us.
A contingency fee means you only pay when you successfully hire a candidate we introduce. There's no upfront cost or retainer — the fee is a percentage of the hire's first-year base salary, due upon their start date.
For contingency engagements, payment is due when your new hire starts. For retained searches, a portion is paid upfront to secure dedicated resources, with the remainder due upon placement. Embedded engagements are billed monthly.
Yes. Every plan includes a replacement guarantee. If a hire doesn't work out within the guarantee period (90 days), we'll restart the search at no additional cost.
If a placement leaves or is let go within the guarantee period, we replace them for free. We stand behind our work because we invest heavily in vetting for long-term fit, not just filling seats.
Absolutely. Many clients start with a contingency search and move to retained or embedded as their hiring needs grow. We'll help you find the right model for your current stage.
Yes — early-stage startups are our specialty. We've partnered with pre-seed through Series B companies and understand the unique constraints and urgency of building a founding team.
Absolutely. All payments are processed securely through Stripe, the industry standard for online payments. We never store your card details directly.
