About BizFirst
Built Different. By Design.
Founded by a leader who's been on the hiring side and knows what it takes to find people who actually stay.
The Problem We Saw
Most recruiting firms operate the same way: high volume, transactional relationships, and account managers juggling 20+ clients.
The result? Priorities and requirements get lost between recruiters. Updates disappear. Candidates show up completely off the mark. After an initial surge, firms lose steam and searches drag on for months.
How We're Different
We built BizFirst around a simple principle: when Client Delivery Leads manage fewer clients, they can deliver better results. That is our business model.
Each Client Delivery Lead manages just 3-4 clients. Your requirements stay with one person. No handoffs, no lost details, same-day responses, regular updates.
Our recruiters bring deep expertise in cleared hiring, technical roles, and professional services, with a focus on both skills and culture fit.
Every candidate is screened by your delivery lead before reaching you. Only qualified submissions that match your requirements move forward. We stay engaged with the same urgency from day one through final offer.
The result: 94% of our 2024-2025 placements are still with their employers beyond the guarantee period.
Competitive Pricing. Flexible Support.
We have fewer layers than large firms and more capacity than independent recruiters. Your delivery lead can scale recruiting support from one recruiter to multiple recruiters based on urgency, high-volume hiring, or critical fills, while maintaining consistent quality.
Our fees are straightforward: 15 to 20 percent contingency for direct hire, or PartnerHire monthly retainers starting at $6,750 for one recruiter plus a dedicated delivery lead, with the ability to scale recruiters as needed.
You get team support without bureaucracy, and flexibility without long-term commitments.

Boutique by Design
We stay small intentionally. Each Client Delivery Lead manages just 3-4 clients—it's the foundation of how we work and why our results stand out:
How Our Team Works
Client Delivery Leads
Manage relationships and own outcomes. They coordinate recruiters, execute on priorities, review every submission, keep you informed, and ensure quality stays consistent.
Recruiters
Specialize in technical, operational, cleared, and business roles. They source, screen for both technical capability and cultural fit, coordinate interviews, and manage offers through the full hiring lifecycle.
Founder & CEO
Maintains direct oversight and is personally available to clients. When you need leadership involvement, you get the founder—not another layer of management.
