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

Clients per Delivery Lead

Most agencies assign 20-30 clients per account manager. PartnerHire clients get a Client Delivery Lead who carries just 3-4 accounts, so your search gets real attention from a single point of contact who knows your business, your culture, and your urgency.

94%

Candidate retention past 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 first 90 days and beyond.

≤3

Days to first submission

PartnerHire clients receive first submissions within about three business days, against a three-to-four-week norm at traditional agencies. Every submission is personally reviewed before it reaches your desk.

Flat fees, not a percentage of salary.

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

Just need a shortlist of candidates to interview, not a full search? Try HireSelect, our flat-fee sourcing product.

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.

How It Works

A clear process,
from first call to signed offer.

A senior Client Delivery Lead owns your search end to end. 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 90-day replacement guarantee on DirectHire.
