Job Placement · HR

The team that hires everyone else has its own seat open.

The HR leaders who can actually build a people function are employed, in demand, and selectively fielding offers. We place HR managers, HR directors, talent acquisition leaders, and CHROs in 23-35 days at roughly 50% less than contingency firms.

The Real Cost of a Slow Search

What does that open role actually cost your organization?

15%
Projected HR job growth this decade
Demand for skilled HR and people-ops leaders is outpacing supply as companies professionalize. The strongest candidates are passive, and reaching them takes proactive sourcing.
$8,500+
Per month absorbed per unfilled HR leadership seat
An HR director at roughly $100K is about $8,500 a month. While the seat is open, hiring stalls, compliance risk grows, and culture work goes undone.
2-3 weeks
Window before a strong candidate accepts another offer
Capable HR leaders are quietly recruited and quickly hired. A slow search is always fishing in a smaller pond than the one you started with.

How It Works

From open role to placed hire in three steps

01
Discovery call

We learn your organization, the role, and what a strong candidate actually looks like in your environment. 15 minutes. No fluff.

02
Active sourcing

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.

03
Shortlist review

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

Three things every organization wants - and most placement firms do not offer

Bonus 01No contingency fees. Ever.

Common objection: "We already work with contingency recruiters."

Milestone-based pricing replaces the standard 20-25% contingency fee, and total cost is roughly 50% less. For a $115,000 HR director placement, that difference is $11,500-$17,250 kept in your budget versus a contingency arrangement.

Bonus 0245-day replacement guarantee at no charge.

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.

Bonus 03A curated shortlist. Not a resume stack.

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

Every week that role stays open is a decision you are making.

An open HR leadership seat slows the entire company down. Open requisitions sit unfilled, onboarding stalls, compliance and employee-relations issues go unmanaged, and the rest of the team absorbs the load. An HR director seat open for 90 days can mean stalled hiring, mounting compliance exposure, and roughly $25,500 in absorbed overhead before the search even ends.

The Talent Window

The best candidates are only available for a few weeks.

The best HR and people-ops leaders are employed, performing well, and selectively recruited. 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.

FAQ

Common questions

What roles do you place?

HR managers, HR directors, talent acquisition managers, people operations managers, CHROs, and other human-resources roles across the growing mid-market and beyond.

How is this different from a staffing agency?

We are not a staffing agency. This is direct permanent placement with milestone-based pricing. You hire the candidate directly. We are not placing temps or contractors.

How does milestone-based pricing work?

Payments are tied to defined milestones in the search process rather than a lump-sum contingency fee at the end. Total cost is roughly 50% less than a standard contingency arrangement. Exact structure is covered on your discovery call.

What does the 45-day guarantee cover?

If the placed candidate 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.

How quickly can you start a search?

Typically within one week of your discovery call. We begin active sourcing immediately after alignment on the role profile and compensation range.
