What Makes Us Different

The difference when recruiting
gets real attention.

Plenty of firms now lean on AI to screen candidates at volume. We use good tools too, but we don't let them make the call. Software can sort resumes; it can't tell whether a senior hire will thrive on your team. Every search is led by an experienced recruiter whose judgment is the point.

3:1

Just 3–4 accounts per lead

Your search gets real attention from one senior point of contact who knows your business.

Built around how you hire

Choose the model
that works for you.

The right model depends on your talent needs, how you want to engage us, and how much of the hiring process you want us to support. We scale from a single contingent search to a dedicated embedded team.

Flat fees, not a percentage of salary.

Both PartnerHire Core and PartnerHire Complete charge a very low flat $1,000 per placement, never a percentage of salary. Many retained and RPO providers charge a steep 10 to 12% of first-year salary per placement fee on top of their retained fee. On a $150,000 hire, that is $1,000 with BizFirst versus $15,000 to $18,000 elsewhere.

Need part-time help? PartnerHire Flex starts at $5,000/mo for a shared recruiter. 90-day replacement guarantee applies to DirectHire placements. Service availability and pricing are subject to change and may vary based on engagement scope, complexity, and market conditions.
