How the engagement runs

A standard search works the candidates who apply. A specialized search starts before anyone has applied — with market research and direct outreach to people who are not looking. That work is what the rate reflects.

Engagement terms

What you can expect

Example salary

$125,000.00

Fee at 25%

$31,250.00

Fee at 30%

$37,500.00

25%–30% of first-year base salary, or custom pricing when approved in writing. Your rate is confirmed in your proposal before the search begins.

What moves the rate

The final fee percentage is determined by the overall complexity and scope of the search, not by a fixed formula. We review each engagement individually, and the confirmed rate reflects the work required to run a credible, thorough search.

Talent scarcity and credentials

Niche skill sets, regulated credentials, or a thin qualified population increase the research and outreach required.

Geographic requirements

A narrow location, distributed teams, or relocation considerations can expand the search scope.

Search timeline and sourcing depth

An accelerated timeline or extensive passive-candidate outreach calls for a more intensive engagement.

Custom pricing may apply when the scope or engagement structure falls outside the standard range. The final fee percentage and payment terms are confirmed in the proposal and executed agreement.
