FAQ

Straight answers, no small print.

Plain answers about cost, control, privacy and what we will not promise.

Payment

Who pays for the service?

You do. Reverse recruiting means the candidate is the client. We are not paid by employers to fill roles, so our job is to represent your interests in your search.

How much does it cost and how am I billed?

Pricing is tailored to each client. Choose up to 40 or up to 60 applications a week. On your free strategy call we discuss your seniority, target market and the support you need, then send a written quote. Quotes are in US dollars (USD). Billing is weekly, the minimum commitment is one week and there is no success fee. You pay nothing until you have agreed the quote.

Can I cancel?

Yes, at any time. Cancel before your next weekly billing date and you will not be charged again; the current week runs to its end.

Scope

What exactly is included?

A strategy call, a written search brief, role research and shortlisting, fit notes, tailored resumes and cover letters, applications submitted for you within your authorization, and weekly reports. Anything outside that is listed as excluded on the pricing page.

Which markets do you support?

We support searches for roles in the United States only. If you are targeting roles anywhere else, we will tell you on the first call rather than take you on.

Do you write to US resume conventions?

Yes. Every resume follows US conventions: no photo, date of birth or personal details, and achievements first. Your assistant formats each application for the employer and the applicant tracking system it is going to.

Process

How long does it take to get started?

It starts with a strategy call. Onboarding involves confirming your profile and criteria with you, and we will give you a realistic timeline during that call rather than a generic promise here.

How involved do I need to be?

You set the goals and criteria and confirm your profile. Then you either approve each application or let your assistant approve roles that score well against your criteria. Your assistant does the searching, tailoring and form-filling, so your time goes on decisions and interviews.

Do you apply without my approval?

Only if you ask us to. At onboarding you choose: approve every application yourself, and your assistant waits for you, or let your assistant approve roles after a detailed ATS score and resume-fit score against each job and your agreed criteria. Either way nothing goes to an employer you have excluded, and you can switch at any time.

Do you need my passwords?

We never ask for your personal email, LinkedIn or bank passwords. Where an employer's site needs an account, we create it with a dedicated search email address set up for you, and hand every login over to you when your search ends.

Your assistant

Who will work on my search?

A dedicated executive job search assistant who handles your search from start to finish and is your point of contact. You meet them at onboarding, and they stay with you for the whole search.

Could my resume end up overstating my experience?

No. Your assistant works only from your approved master profile. Employers, dates, titles and qualifications are never changed, missing experience is noted as a gap, and you see every change before an application is used.

Privacy

What happens to my data?

Only your assistant and the employers you apply to see your details. We keep your information while your search is active and delete it within 30 days of it ending, unless you ask us to keep it or the law requires otherwise. Our privacy notice sets out the detail.

Expectations

Do you guarantee interviews or a job?

No. Hiring decisions are made by employers. We can make your search more focused, consistent and visible; we cannot promise an outcome, and you should be wary of anyone who does.

Will my current employer find out?

You can exclude any employer, including your current one and its group companies. We never contact excluded employers on your behalf.

What if I am not happy with the service?

Tell your assistant first. If that does not fix it, email us and we will reply within two business days. You can cancel any time before your next weekly billing date.

Hand over the search. Keep the decisions.

A free strategy call to talk through your goals. Scope, price and terms are set out in writing before you commit to anything.
