The Real Cost of a Slow Search
How It Works
We learn your organization, the role, and what a strong candidate actually looks like in your environment. 15 minutes. No fluff.
We go direct to passive candidates - professionals who are not on job boards but are quietly open to the right opportunity. This is where most searches fail.
You receive 3-5 pre-screened candidates. No stacks of resumes. No wasted interviews. You meet candidates who have already been qualified against your specific criteria.
What You Get
Common objection: "We already work with contingency recruiters."
Milestone-based pricing replaces the standard 20-25% contingency fee. Total cost is roughly 50% less. For a $110,000 project architect placement, that difference is $11,000-$16,500 kept in your budget versus a contingency arrangement.
Common objection: "What if the placement doesn't work out?"
If the hire does not work out within 45 days of their start date for any performance-related reason, we conduct a replacement search at no additional charge. Our guarantee is longer than most contingency firms and is built into every engagement.
Common objection: "We have used recruiters before and wasted time on bad candidates."
You will not sort through 20 resumes hoping one sticks. Your dedicated search specialist builds a shortlist of 3-5 candidates who have been screened against your specific criteria. You only meet people who are genuinely qualified. The first interview is a real conversation, not a screening exercise.
The Math on Waiting
A vacant architect seat does not just slow a project. It pushes deadlines, forces a firm to decline new commissions, and stretches the remaining team past capacity. A project architect seat open for 90 days can cost a firm lost billable hours, a turned-down project, and roughly $28,500 in absorbed overhead before the search closes.
The Talent Window
The best architects and design leaders are employed, working on projects they care about, and recruited regularly by competing firms. When one opens up to a move, the decision window is two to three weeks, and the offer usually comes from whoever was already in front of them. A posting-and-waiting search misses that person every time.
No commitment. We will tell you exactly what we can do for your search and what it costs.
