Pricing
No upfront fee. A success-based model.
There is no upfront service fee. My fee is success-based, meaning you pay only if you accept and begin an eligible new position through our work together.
Success fees start at 1% of first-year base compensation for select entry-level or hourly searches. Professional, senior-level, executive, specialized, and more complex searches are quoted at a higher rate based on factors such as target role, seniority, industry, specialization, geographic requirements, scope of support, and anticipated search complexity.
Your specific rate will be established in writing before the engagement begins.
Payment terms
Success fees may be paid in full or through an approved installment plan. Your payment schedule will be agreed upon before the engagement begins. When an installment plan is approved, the first payment is generally due within seven days after you begin the new role, with the remaining payments due monthly.
Payment plans do not change the total success fee.
How the fee is calculated
- The success fee is based on first-year base compensation.
- For salaried roles, the annual base salary stated in the accepted offer is used.
- For hourly roles, the expected annualized base compensation stated or reasonably established from the accepted role's regular hourly rate and expected schedule is used.
- Bonuses, commissions, equity, benefits, and discretionary compensation are excluded unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- Specific attribution, payment, and engagement terms are contained in the service agreement.
Results
An honest note on outcomes.
Every search is different. Outcomes depend on factors such as experience, target roles, compensation, location, market conditions, and client participation. I cannot guarantee interviews, offers, timing, or a particular employment outcome.
I will always be straightforward with you about what I am seeing in the market and what I believe is realistic for your search.
