Contingent Search: Pay When You Hire

With contingent search, there are no upfront fees—our work begins immediately, and the fee is due only when you hire our candidate. This model gives your team flexibility during busy seasons, headcount freezes, and shifting priorities without sacrificing speed or quality. We align on the role profile, territory, compensation, and culture fit, then deliver interview-ready shortlists and manage feedback until the right offer is signed.

Every candidate is screened for technical capability, safety, and soft-skill fit. We verify relevant certifications, performance markers, and references, so hiring managers spend time only with qualified finalists. The result: fewer interviews, faster decisions, and stronger retention.

Industry-Focused Recruiting

We recruit inside your world—wholesale distribution, branch operations, field service, install timelines, seasonality, inventory turns, and margin discipline. Our clients include manufacturers and distributors for HVAC, plumbing, and building supplies as well as home-service providers (installers and service contractors). Because we understand the pressures of route density, truck stock, lead times, and warranty service, our conversations with candidates are concrete and credible.

That domain knowledge improves outreach response rates, reduces fall-off during interviews, and helps candidates see the value in your opportunity—whether you’re expanding a territory, opening a new branch, or leveling up a service team.

Function-Focused Sourcing

We prioritize the functions that drive revenue and service outcomes. Our recruiting coverage includes technicians, sales and business development, operations leadership, and product/marketing roles tied to channel growth. Each search is tailored to your priorities—quota ownership, service SLAs, truck-based or branch-based roles, and territory requirements.
