Service models
Start with the role first, then choose whether you want Cherry involved after launch, a one-time recruiting handoff, or a custom structure around a bigger rollout.
Managed hire
Best when communications specialist work is recurring and you want Cherry involved with payroll, onboarding, and ongoing support.
Best for
Teams that want lower management overhead after the candidate starts and prefer a recurring managed relationship.
How it differs
Cherry stays involved after launch instead of handing the hire off immediately.
Direct placement
Best when you want Cherry to source and vet communications specialist talent but your internal team will own payroll, management, and retention.
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.
Enterprise / custom
Best when this communications specialist hire is part of a broader buildout or needs a custom structure that does not fit a standard lane.
Best for
Operators building pods, hiring across multiple functions, or combining managed hire with direct placement support.
