Engagement model
Contingent search
Fee paid only on successful placement, with no upfront cost. Flexible enough to run alongside other firms, and suited to mid- and lower-level positions.
Best for: Mid-level roles, and teams that want to run several firms in parallel.
Start a searchHow it runs
The same three stages, whichever model you pick
What changes between the three engagement models is exclusivity and how the fee works. What does not change is the process, or the standard every candidate clears before we put them in front of you.
- 01
Intro and onboarding
An onboarding call with our COO and the lead recruiter to establish what the business actually needs — not just what the job description says.
- 02
Source and screen
We screen candidates out of our proprietary Special Operations veteran pool while you stay on your own work.
- 03
Post-placement support
We stay engaged with both the employer and the placed candidate after the start date, for as long as it takes to make the hire sustainable.
Other models
Retained executive search
Exclusive, upfront-fee engagement for senior or specialized roles. We work only with you on that role and run a dedicated, exhaustive search of the Special Operations talent pool.
Best for: Senior leadership and specialized roles where the wrong hire is expensive.
Outsourced recruiting
Full-cycle recruiting run on your behalf — sourcing, screening, interviewing and onboarding — so your own team stays on the work only they can do.
Best for: Companies scaling without internal recruiting capacity.
Next step
Tell us the role. We will tell you who is already ready for it.
An onboarding call with our COO and the lead recruiter, and you will know within the week whether the person you need is already in our pool.
