Contingency Search
Pay us when we find your someone.
How it works
Tell us what you need
We start with a conversation about what the job needs: the responsibilities, the people the hire will work with, and what success looks like. The more we understand about your team, the better we can find someone who fits it. We’d love a visit to the office if time allows (and if you have an office).
We look at the market together.
Before we start, we’ll give you an honest read on the market. Who’s available, what they’re paid, and how competitive it’s going to be. That way we’re starting on the same page.
We find candidates.
We reach out directly to people with the right background, including many who aren’t actively looking. Our network in research, insights, and analytics means we often know who to call first.
We screen every candidate.
We talk with each person before introducing them to you. We learn about their experience, their strengths, what they’re looking for next, and how they’d fit with your team.
You review a shortlist.
You’ll get a short list of people we’ve talked to, vetted, and believe in. Each one comes with our notes on their experience, what they’re looking for, and why we think they’d do well on your team.
We manage the interview process.
We keep the process steady. Candidates walk in prepared, feedback gets shared quickly on both sides, and nobody is left wondering what happens next. We’re happy to loop in anyone who needs to be involved and work within the way your team already hires.
We stick with it to the finish.
Offers can be the trickiest part of a search. We’ll help you get it right, manage the conversations, and check in through the start date. Everyone else we presented gets a real answer from us, too.
