Scale your hiring.
Not your overhead.

You won't get handed off to a junior recruiter or lost in a queue of 30 clients. Your Delivery Lead manages 3–4 accounts total and knows your business, your roles, and what "good" looks like for your team.

What Makes Us Different

The difference when recruiting
gets real attention.

3:1

Clients per Delivery Lead

Most agencies assign 20-30 clients per account manager. PartnerHire clients get a dedicated lead managing just 3-4 accounts, so your search gets real attention from someone who knows your business, your culture, and your urgency.

94%

Retention beyond 90 days

Our placements stick because we screen for capability and cultural fit, not just keyword matches. Across all three service models, we stay engaged from first submission through the guarantee period and beyond.

≤3

Days to first submission

PartnerHire clients receive first submissions within three business days. DirectHire and SourceHire follow dedicated timelines for each engagement. Every submission is personally reviewed before it reaches your desk.

Who you'll actually work with

Built different. By design.

Most recruiting firms juggle 20–30 clients per account manager. We built BizFirst around a different model: each Client Delivery Lead manages just 3–4 clients, with same-day responses.
