Culture first
We learn your values, working style and team dynamics before we write a single outreach message. Skills get someone hired. Fit keeps them.
Recruiting that starts with your culture
A senior recruiter headhunts your next hire directly. You meet only candidates who have cleared two rounds of interviews, each with a written profile explaining why they fit your team.
CULTURE-FIRST RECRUITING
Why we recruit differently
Most recruiters start with a job board. We start with your culture: what your team values, how it works, and the traits that separate a good hire from a great one at your company.
We headhunt, we don't post
A senior recruiter goes after the people who are good at the job right now, including the ones who aren't looking. You get reach a job board can't give you.
A vetted shortlist
Every candidate you meet has cleared our interview rounds on skills, motivation and culture. You spend your time on finalists, not first calls.
OUR PROCESS
How a search works
Every search follows the same seven steps. We run the process, and you make every final decision.
Kickoff
Step 1
Role development
We write or refine the job description, confirm worker classification (employee or contractor, exempt or non-exempt), analyze market pay for the role and location, and build your screening questions.
Step 2
Intake with your hiring manager
Our senior recruiter meets your hiring manager to learn the role, the team, and your values. Sourcing starts only after this conversation.
Step 2
Step 3
Direct sourcing
We headhunt candidates through professional networks and our talent pipeline, then screen them against the profile we built together.
Step 4
Two rounds of our interviews
Our recruiter conducts the first interview. An HR Prose advisor conducts the second and removes anyone who isn't qualified. We handle all the scheduling.
Step 4
Step 5
Your short list
You receive three to five finalists, each with a written candidate profile. If the field is thinner, the list is shorter, because we never pad it with people we wouldn't hire ourselves.
Step 6
Your interviews and the offer
You run the final rounds. We help you structure the offer and lead the negotiation with your candidate.
Step 6
Step 7
30-day check-in
Thirty days after the start date, we check in with you and your new hire to catch anything that needs attention early.

Recruiting questions, answered
-
Do you post our role on job boards?
No. A senior recruiter headhunts candidates directly through professional networks and our existing talent pipeline. That keeps your search confidential and your inbox free of unqualified applicants.
-
Do we have to work exclusively with us?
No. You can run other searches or hire on your own. If you hire someone we presented to you, the placement fee applies to that hire.
-
How long does the search take?
We give you a timing estimate at kickoff and keep you updated as the search moves. Timing depends on the role, the market, and the compensation you approve. Returning feedback within three business days keeps strong candidates from taking other offers.
-
What happens if the hire doesn't work out?
If your new hire leaves within three months of their start date, we run the search again with no additional placement fee. The guarantee is a replacement search rather than a refund, and terms apply.
-
Can you recruit contractors or international hires?
Yes. We recruit primarily in the US and Argentina, and the same 20% fee applies. You're the contracting party with the hire. For HR Prose clients, we include an evaluation of US worker classification.

-
What happens if we cancel the search?
You can cancel at any time. The retainer isn't refunded.
-
Do you run background or reference checks?
Pre-employment screening is completed by you before an offer goes out. For US clients on Gusto, we can set up background check administration through Gusto, and reference checks are available as an add-on.
-
Who makes the hiring decision?
You do. We advise you through the decision, help structure the offer, and lead the negotiation, but every hiring decision and offer term is yours.
