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.

Flat fees, not a percentage of salary.

Both PartnerHire 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. 60-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.

How It Works

A clear process,
from first call to signed offer.

A senior Client Delivery Lead is your single point of contact, keeping every search aligned to your priorities and QA'ing every submission. Kickoff in 1 to 2 business days, a firm quote within 24 hours, and first qualified candidates in as few as 3 business days.

01

Intake & calibration

A kickoff call and a firm quote. We scope the role, must-haves, and market.

02

Sourcing & outreach

Targeted search plus personalized outreach to active and passive candidates.

03

Screening & shortlist

A short list of vetted, interested candidates. Every submission personally reviewed.

04

Offer & guarantee

Offer and close support, plus a 60-day replacement guarantee on DirectHire.
