Four engagements. One standard.
Whether it is a single hire or a year of hiring, the screening bar and the honesty about what is achievable stay the same.
The core service. You pay only when someone starts. We work a small number of roles at a time so each one gets real attention rather than being added to a queue.
- Best for
- Teams filling one to five permanent roles with a defined brief.
- Commercials
- Contingent fee, a percentage of first-year fixed CTC. Invoiced on joining.
- Guarantee
- Free replacement if the candidate leaves within 90 days.
What is included
- Market mapping and a calibrated salary read before we start
- Technical screening by someone who has written production code
- Written submission note per candidate, not a forwarded CV
- Offer management through to day-30 check-in
For a migration, a delivery crunch, or a role you want to prove before you commit headcount to it. We handle contracting, compliance and timesheets so the engagement is one line on your invoice.
- Best for
- Fixed-scope projects, backfills, and roles you want to trial first.
- Commercials
- Transparent hourly or monthly margin, disclosed up front. No hidden mark-up.
- Guarantee
- Free replacement within the first 2 weeks of the engagement.
What is included
- Contractors available at 2 to 4 weeks notice
- Compliance, contracting and payroll handled end to end
- Pre-agreed conversion fee, tapering with time served
- Weekly check-ins for the first month of every placement
EMs, directors, VPs of Engineering and CTOs. These people are never on a job board and will not respond to a generic approach, so this runs as a mapped, retained process with a named consultant.
- Best for
- Leadership hires where a mis-hire costs you a year.
- Commercials
- Retained, billed in three stages: engagement, shortlist, placement.
- Guarantee
- Free replacement within 6 months.
What is included
- Full market map of the relevant talent pool, shared with you
- Confidential approach — your brand is not exposed until you choose
- Structured scorecard interviews and deep referencing
- Onboarding support through the first quarter
When you are hiring continuously, per-placement fees get expensive fast. An embedded recruiter works as part of your team, in your tooling, on your standups, at a predictable cost.
- Best for
- Scale-ups hiring ten or more engineers a year.
- Commercials
- Fixed monthly fee for a set capacity. No per-placement fee on top.
- Guarantee
- Rolling monthly terms after an initial 3-month commitment.
What is included
- Dedicated recruiter, your brand, your ATS, your Slack
- Employer-brand and job-description work included
- Interview process design and interviewer training
- Monthly funnel reporting you can take to your board
