Targeted Headhunting for Specialist Roles

This is essential in high-demand sectors like healthcare, tech, and life sciences. We headhunt for hard-to-fill and niche positions such as:

Bioinformatics Scientists
Financial Risk Analysts
Manufacturing Engineers
Nurse Managers
IT Security Specialists
Pharmaceutical Sales Directors
Data Architects
Educational Program Managers

At Recruit Mogul, we believe in fair, success-based pricing. We charge a placement fee of 18% of the candidate’s first-year base salary. You only pay once the hire has been successfully placed, no retainers, no upfront costs.

To provide additional confidence, all placements are backed by a 3-month replacement guarantee. If your new hire leaves or isn’t the right fit within 90 days, we will conduct a replacement search at no additional cost. This approach gives you peace of mind and risk protection with every executive hire.
