Service models

How teams usually hire this role.

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

Monthly support with active Cherry involvement after launch.

Best when project documentation 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.

Explore managed hire

Direct placement

One-time recruiting help, then your team manages the hire in-house.

Best when you want Cherry to source and vet project documentation 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.

Explore direct placement

Custom plan

Best when this project documentation specialist hire is part of a broader buildout or needs a custom structure that a standard plan does not cover.

Best for
