How our fees work

Three engagement models, agreed in writing before sourcing starts. You never pay to review a shortlist.

Contingency search

Project managers, estimators, superintendents, foremen, detailers.

  • Most searches are contingency, so you pay only when you hire.
  • No retainer, no upfront cost, no charge to review candidates.
  • 90-day replacement guarantee on contingency placements.

Retained search

Executive or confidential roles.

  • For executive or confidential roles, we also offer retained search, scoped and priced with you up front.

Confidential replacement

Replacing a leader without tipping off your team or the market.

  • Fully NDA-protected — your company is never named to candidates up front.
  • Search never posted publicly; sourcing is direct-outreach only.
