Fill a local role for a flat $7,500. Any salary.
We headhunt. We do not post jobs. Your shortlist comes from people who are employed, performing, and not looking, and you pay the same fee whether the role is $80k or $250k.
Starts with a 15-minute call. $500 to start, refundable if you do not find value. The remaining $7,000 only when they sign.
- One fee, fixed in advance, regardless of the salary you agree
- $500 to start the search, refunded if you do not find value
- Headhunted through 10 LinkedIn accounts, personal email and phone
- Shortlist within a week, most roles closed within two
- Balance of $7,000 due only when the candidate signs
- US, UK and European markets
A $150k hire costs $30,000 with a contingency recruiter. Or $7,500 with us.
Percentage fees are a legacy of a world where recruiters mailed résumés. Finding the right person does not cost three times more because the salary is three times higher.
| Salary of the role | Contingency recruiter at 20% | Hey Recruiting | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| $80,000 | $16,000 | $7,500 | $8,500 |
| $120,000 | $24,000 | $7,500 | $16,500 |
| $150,000 | $30,000 | $7,500 | $22,500 |
| $200,000 | $40,000 | $7,500 | $32,500 |
| $250,000 | $50,000 | $7,500 | $42,500 |
Most contingency firms charge 20 to 25% of first-year base. Retained search firms charge 30 to 35% and bill a third up front.
Job postings find people who are looking. We find people who are good.

- We reach every one of them three ways: LinkedIn, personal email and a phone call

15-minute call. Role, salary band, must-haves, the three companies you would poach from if you could. $500 to start.
We build the entire audience: every company, every relevant title, every name and contact. You approve it.
Outreach from ten LinkedIn accounts, personal email and cold calls, all at once. Screening calls and first interviews as replies come in. We run these, not you.
Shortlist of four to six in your inbox, each with notes, comp expectations and availability.
You interview. We handle scheduling, offer negotiation and the counter-offer conversation.
Why ten accounts beat one
LinkedIn caps every account at roughly 100 connection requests a week. A single recruiter can therefore reach about 100 people in the first week of your search, and only on LinkedIn.
One recruiter, one account
- About 100 LinkedIn requests a week
- No email, or a work email that gets filtered
- Phone only for the handful who reply
- Week one reach: around 100 people
Hey Recruiting
- Ten LinkedIn accounts working your search in parallel
- Personal email addresses, where people actually read
- Cold calls to everyone on the list, not just responders
- Week one reach: the entire audience, usually 800 to 1,200 people

Questions we get on the call
Is $7,500 really the whole fee?
Yes. $500 when we start, which covers mapping the audience and a week of outreach, and $7,000 when your hire signs. No percentage, no expenses. If the role is $250k, it is still $7,500.
What is the $500 for, and can I get it back?
It helps us map out the entire audience and conduct outreach to them, which takes about a week across ten LinkedIn accounts, personal email and phone. If you feel you did not get value, tell us and we refund it.
How can you afford that?
Because we do not spend three weeks sifting job-board applicants. We build the whole audience on day two and reach all of it at once through ten LinkedIn accounts, personal email and calls. Direct headhunting at that volume is faster and cheaper to run than screening applicants. The margin is in the method, not the fee.
What if nobody on the shortlist works out?
We go again at no cost. The $7,000 balance is due only when someone signs, so a shortlist you do not love costs you a few interviews and nothing else.
Do I have to give you exclusivity?
No. Run your own posting, use another recruiter, do whatever you like. The balance is only due if our candidate is the one you hire.
Which countries?
United States, United Kingdom and the EU. We headhunt in the country where the role sits, in the local language where needed.
What about candidates who take a counter-offer?
We have the counter-offer conversation with every finalist before you make an offer, so you find out early rather than on their start date. If a hire does not start or leaves inside the guarantee period, we replace them at no charge.
Tell us the role. We start mapping tomorrow.
One 15-minute call with a talent lead. Audience mapped in two days, shortlist within a week.
- You describe the role, the salary band and who you would poach if you could.
- We tell you how many people fit that profile in your market and how many we can reach in week one.
- If we cannot fill it, we say so on the call.
$7,500 flat. $500 to start, refundable. $7,000 when they sign. No exclusivity.
