Early-stage and rapid-growth companies need exceptional talent while managing recruiting costs carefully. Our approach combines experienced recruiters, thorough research, and careful candidate evaluation with a transparent hourly model that provides greater visibility, flexibility, and control throughout the search.
Our Approach.
A Smarter Recruiting Model. Built Around Your Business.
Through your private client database, you can see the people we identify, review research and candidate information, follow outreach and search progress, and monitor billing as the work proceeds.
Unlike a traditional recruiting process where you may only see the candidates presented to you, ProFound gives you visibility into the broader search.
And the research belongs to you as it's developed not just when the search is complete.
This creates a valuable recruiting resource that can support future hiring needs long after the immediate position is filled.
See the Search. Own the Research.
Traditional recruiting firms often charge placement fees based on a percentage of a candidate's compensation. At The ProFound Group, our hourly model ties recruiting fees to the actual work performed—not the salary of the person hired.
This gives early-stage and rapid-growth companies greater control over recruiting costs, with the potential for a stronger return on their hiring investment.
And when a search produces multiple hires, there are no additional placement fees for those hires.
Transparent fees. Greater financial control. More value from every search.
