Frequently Asked Questions

We don’t work on bloated percentage fees or flood your inbox with stacks of unvetted, unqualified resumes. We offer flat-fee recruiting services that focus on ROI, retention, and speed-to-hire. Whether it’s controller recruiting, director of finance recruiting, director of supply chain recruiting, associate attorney recruiting, or executive search, we’re the headhunters who understand the pressure you're under — because we’ve sat in your seat.
Yes. We specialize in: ● Supply chain recruiting ● Logistics recruiting ● Legal recruiting ● Accounting recruiting ● Finance recruiting ● Executive recruiting We routinely place roles such as: ● Director of Supply Chain ● VP of Logistics ● Director of Finance ● VP of Finance ● Controller ● Director of Accounting ● CFO ● Chief Legal Officer ● Other C-Suite positions If you’re searching for a flat-rate recruiter for high-level professionals, you’re in the right place.
As former hiring managers, we built our firm to offer a simple, honest, and transparent alternative to bloated, commission-based recruiting. We charge a flat fee per hire — not a percentage of salary. Most recruiters are financially incentivized to push salaries higher just to inflate their fee. Because we're not commission-based, any salary advice we offer is based purely on market data — not padding our bottom line. If you're looking for cost-effective recruiting with guaranteed results in supply chain, accounting and finance, legal, or executive search, we’ve got you covered.
Most recruiting firms charge between 25–30% of the hired candidate’s salary. For example: ● Controller recruiting: Average salary = $160K → Typical fee = $40,000 ● Director of Finance recruiting: Average salary = $150K → Typical fee = $37,500 ● Director of Supply Chain recruiting: Average salary = $155K → Typical fee = $38,500 Our flat rate? $15,000 per hire — saving most clients 50–75%, plus we back every hire with a 12-month replacement guarantee. Good luck getting that from the other guys.
Most roles are filled within 30–45 days, depending on complexity and your internal interview process. Because we specialize in passive candidate sourcing, we move faster than traditional recruiting agencies or internal HR teams.
We’re headhunters. We specialize in passive candidate recruiting — targeting high performers who aren’t browsing job boards but would move for the right opportunity.
Fair question. But when it comes to controller recruiting, director of finance recruiting, and director of supply chain recruiting, quality is everything. Job boards give you access to only active candidates — those currently unemployed or unhappy in their roles. This pool tends to underperform on metrics like productivity and retention. Worse, active candidates represent only 20% of the total talent market. That leaves 80% of top performers completely untapped — and that’s where we hunt. By aggressively sourcing passive candidates, we bring you talent that: ● Is statistically 30% more productive ● Has significantly higher retention rates ● Delivers a better long-term ROI Want proof?

Yes — we offer a 1-year placement guarantee on every hire. If the hire doesn’t stick, we replace them at no extra cost. It’s our way of standing behind our process — whether it’s executive recruiting, controller search, or director-level recruiting.
