Headhunting for Specialized and Competitive Talent

Massachusetts is home to a dense concentration of high-growth companies, research institutions, and global brands. As a result, the most qualified candidates are rarely on the open market.

  • Regulatory Affairs Specialists
  • Mechanical and Electrical Engineers
  • Portfolio Managers
  • University Program Directors

We go beyond resumes, evaluating candidates for technical competence, cultural fit, and leadership potential.

Placement Fee and Guarantee

Our pricing is transparent and performance-based. We charge a placement fee of 18% of the candidate’s first-year base salary. This fee is only invoiced after a successful hire.

To reduce risk and reinforce our commitment to quality, every placement comes with a 3-month replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves or underperforms within the first 90 days, we’ll conduct a replacement search at no additional cost.
