Service models

Managed hire

Best for
Teams that want lower management overhead after the candidate starts and prefer a recurring managed relationship.

Best for
Teams with internal managers and a clear post-hire owner who want recruiting support without a monthly management layer.
How it differs
You pay a one-time placement fee instead of a recurring monthly managed plan.
Custom plan
Best when this client communication specialist hire is part of a broader buildout or needs a custom structure that a standard plan does not cover.
Best for
Operators building pods, hiring across multiple functions, or combining managed hire with direct placement support.
