What is Contingent Search?

Contingent search means you only pay if you hire a candidate we present. There’s no upfront cost, no retainers, and no risk.

Here’s how it works:

  1. We learn your needs.
    A quick kickoff call to define the role, team dynamics, and your ideal candidate profile. (No paperwork needed - our goal is finding you talent fast)

  2. We actively source top talent.
    We reach beyond job boards to engage passive candidates who aren’t actively applying but are open to the right opportunity.

  3. We screen for fit.
    Every candidate is personally vetted for skills, experience, and cultural alignment before they ever reach your inbox.

  4. You interview, we handle the rest.
    We coordinate interviews, manage feedback, and support the offer process.

You only pay when you hire. It’s that simple.
