Before we talk

A few practical answers.

How does your fee work?

Our searches are contingent: you pay when the hire starts. We discuss the fee on the introductory call and document the agreed terms before beginning your search.

When does the 48-hour window begin?

Once your role intake is complete and the fee agreement is signed. We typically present first qualified candidates within 48 hours; specialized and senior searches may take longer.

What if the hire doesn’t work out?

Every search includes replacement protection. The duration and conditions are agreed before the search and documented in your fee agreement.

Do you recruit nationwide?

Yes. We work with legal and hospitality employers across the United States. We confirm the role, market, compensation, and requirements with you before starting.

Need approval from another decision-maker?

Bring them to the introductory call or share our search overview. We’ll explain the process and provide an agreement for your team to review.
