5 interested, screened accountants in 7 days.
You have a finance seat open, a close to run, and no recruiter in the building. An agency quoted you 20% of the salary.
We build the list, write the emails, handle the replies and run a written screen, then hand back 5 real people who said they are interested. One price, $1,490, published before you buy.

The intake takes about 8 minutes and most of it is clicking. You see the price before you fill anything in, and nothing is charged until you press the last button.
One hire, $18,000. That is the number that stops a 40-person company hiring at all.
Contingency agencies work. They also charge 20 to 25% of the first year’s salary, and they bill it after the hire, when saying no is no longer an option.
We charge a flat fee because the expensive part of a search was never the judgment. It was the labour: building the list, writing 200 emails, chasing replies, asking the same 15 questions. That is machine work now.

One flat fee, published, paid once, no success fee
$1,490 is 1.7% of a $90,000 salary.
Today you have three options, and all three of them are bad.
Hire a contingency agency
It works, and it costs $15,000 to $25,000 for one hire. On a 40-person company’s budget, that is the whole reason the seat is still empty.
Post the job and wait
Hundreds of unqualified applications, and none of the senior accountants you want are in the pile. They already have jobs.
Buy a sourcing tool and do it yourself
$100 to $500 a month, then nobody uses it, because writing 200 personal emails to passive accountants is a full-time job you do not have.

days to close a finance opening, according to half of large employers.
of finance leaders already use outsourcing to cover an empty seat.
So the seat stays open, the close slips, and the work gets outsourced instead of hired. The missing option is simple: pay a known amount, and get a handful of real, interested people to talk to this week.
What happens, in what order, for what money.

What we will not do.
No percentage of salary
$1,490 whether the role pays $60,000 or $160,000. The price is on this page before you ever talk to us.
No recruiter on the phone
Everything is written, on both sides. You read what a candidate actually wrote, not a recruiter’s summary of it.
No auto-rejections
Every scorecard is a recommendation with the evidence attached. A human at your company decides who to talk to.
No subscription and no seat licence
One search, one price, paid once. Nothing renews, and there is no success fee at the end.
No candidate who has not said yes
All 5 on your shortlist read the role, said they were interested, and answered the screen. None of them is a scraped profile.
If you are an accountant, here is what we do with your 5 minutes.
We write to you about one real, funded role, and we tell you the comp band before we ask you anything. If it is not for you, one reply ends it permanently.
If it is, you answer 6 written questions in about 5 minutes. No phone call, no camera, no login. A human at the company reads your answers, and we tell you their decision either way — including when it is no.
One price. One deliverable. One week.
Start with the intake: the role, the metro, your band and 3 to 6 must-haves. Then the price, once, and we start the same day.
