Direct Placement & Headhunting.
Sometimes you don't need a bench — you need one exceptional person, permanently on your own payroll. We headhunt, vet, and close the candidate for a one-time success fee. No Employer of Record, no ongoing management retainer — once they accept, they're your employee and the engagement is done.
A dedicated search, start to close.
Direct placement is a focused search for one role, run with the same rigor as our staff augmentation vetting — just without the ongoing employment relationship.
Headhunting & sourcingWe go beyond active job-seekers — reaching into passive candidate pools who aren't browsing job boards but are the right fit for a hard-to-fill role.
Technical & cultural vettingEvery candidate clears the same live coding assessments, system-design interviews, and reference checks we run for staff augmentation hires.
Interview coordinationWe schedule and manage the interview loop with your team, keeping candidates warm and the process moving without added admin on your end.
Offer negotiation supportWe help structure and negotiate the offer so it closes — informed by what the candidate actually cares about, not just a number.
Replacement guaranteeIf the hire isn't the right skill or culture fit within the guarantee window, we run the search again at no additional recruiting fee.
How it works.
One role, one focused search, one close — then the engagement is complete.
Define the role and the comp band
We scope the exact skills, seniority, and compensation range with you before sourcing starts, so the search targets candidates who'll actually say yes.
Headhunt and shortlist
We source across active and passive candidate pools and vet down to a shortlist worth your team's interview time.
Client interviews & offer
Your team runs the interviews; we coordinate scheduling and help structure an offer that's likely to close.
Hire lands on your payroll, engagement closes
Once they accept, they're your employee directly — no ongoing retainer, just the one-time success fee for the completed search.
Built for one hard-to-fill hire.
You need exactly one hire
This isn't built for scaling a function — it's built for closing a single, specific seat.
You want them on your own payroll
No EOR relationship, no ongoing retainer — the hire reports to, and is employed by, you from day one.
Before you book the call.
It's a one-time fee, due once the candidate accepts and starts — not a recurring retainer. Exact terms depend on the role and are laid out clearly on the strategy call, not buried in fine print after the fact.
Every placement includes a replacement guarantee window. If it's not a skill or fit match within that window, we run the search again at no additional recruiting fee.
With staff augmentation, we stay involved as the Employer of Record and handle payroll and compliance for the life of the engagement. With direct placement, the hire goes straight onto your own payroll and our role ends once they've started — no ongoing retainer.
