More questions executives ask
What does reverse recruiting cost?
A flat monthly retainer, agreed in writing before we start. It is never a percentage of your salary and there is no placement fee when you accept an offer. Current packages are on the pricing page, and cost and ROI works through the maths against a six-month search.
What does the guarantee actually promise?
Five qualified interviews or an accepted offer within four months. If we miss it, we keep working at no extra monthly fee until we hit it. The full terms are on the guarantee page.
Do you apply to jobs for me?
Yes. An application specialist tailors and submits each application and tracks it to a reply. But applications are the smaller part of the work. Most of the effort goes into finding roles before they are posted and reaching the person who owns the hire.
Will my current employer find out?
No. The search is name-controlled: nothing goes out under your name without your approval, we never contact your employer or its recruiters, and you do not need an “open to work” banner on LinkedIn.
Who actually does the work?
A dedicated reverse recruiter, an application specialist and a senior writer, with Arno Markus, a former executive recruiter, setting the strategy. The team page explains each role.
Is the resume included?
Yes. Resume, LinkedIn profile and executive bio are written or rebuilt at the start of every engagement, before outreach begins.
How much of my time does it take?
A short weekly review of targets, outreach and results, plus the interviews themselves. You approve the target list and any message that carries your name. The sourcing, writing and follow-up are ours.
What levels and locations do you work with?
Director, Vice President and C-suite candidates, mainly in the United States and Canada. Remote and hybrid searches are common and work well.
How is this different from a resume writer or a career coach?
A writer improves the document and a coach improves you. A reverse recruiter runs the search: sourcing, outreach, applications and follow-up, with weekly numbers. Read how it compares to a traditional recruiter and what executives should actually buy.
