Services
Commission placements, retained search and fractional leadership, dedicated offshore seats, fixed-fee HR projects, and AI hiring services. Each is priced per seat, carries a written guarantee, and is run by the founder for clients in the US, UK, the Gulf and beyond.
The five service lines
One role, a confidential senior search, a whole team, or a piece of HR work. Here is which line fits which, what it includes, and what it costs.
For one role at a time, at any level, in any country. You pay a percentage of first-year base salary on the start date and nothing before it.
For confidential or director-level roles that need an exclusive, mapped search. And for companies that need a Head of Talent or an HR partner without the full-time salary.
For a dedicated recruiter or a team of full-time staff based in Pakistan, working your hours in your tools. Recruiting, HR administration and replacement are inside the price.
For a defined piece of HR work with a start, an end and a price agreed before it begins. Delivered against the policy, compliance, benefits and HRIS playbook built for a 400-plus workforce.
For teams that want AI-assisted screening, ATS automation and AI sourcing on their own stack, set up by the people who run these tools on live searches every day. No software to buy from us.

HR consulting projects. Fixed fees from $900, 50% upfront, 30-day fix window.
One process under all four
Whichever line you buy, the work starts the same way: a short call, a written rubric or scope, and a date for the first shortlist or the first draft.
15 minutes. You describe the role, team or project. We say whether it is fillable or doable at your budget, and at what fee.
A scorecard and comp note for hires. A written scope and document list for projects. You sign it off before work starts.
3 to 5 candidates who passed the rubric and a live skills screen, for commission and seat hires. Retained searches take 15 to 25 business days.
Interviews scheduled, feedback inside 5 business days, references, offer support. Projects are delivered with a readout.
Retention check-ins on every hire. Replacement inside the guarantee window. A 30-day fix window on every project.
Why the fees are this low
The screening is the same as a large agency's. The cost base is not.
The firm operates from Pakistan. A senior recruiter here costs a fraction of one in London or New York, and there is no downtown office to pay for.
You deal with the people running your search, backed by the method that took a company from 10 to 400 people, not an account manager relaying notes to a junior sourcer.
AI screening and structured scorecards handle the volume. A recruiter with nine years of pattern recognition makes every call that matters.
Commission is paid when the hire starts. Seats are one monthly number. There are no rebills, tool fees or add-ons.
Questions about choosing
Yes. Each seat or role is priced on its own line, so a dedicated recruiter seat and two commission placements sit on the same monthly invoice without one changing the price of the other. Three or more commission hires in a quarter drop the Standard rate to 8%. Three or more seats get a lower per-seat rate, quoted on the call.
No setup fees on any service. Commission placements carry a minimum fee of $2,500 (Standard) or $4,000 (Specialist). Seats carry a 3-month minimum term. Fractional plans are month to month, and projects start with the 50% upfront payment.
Yes. Healthcare and technology are the flagship practices because that is where the proof was built. The same rubric-first process runs for finance, legal, marketing, e-commerce, logistics, manufacturing, real estate, education, hospitality and non-profit roles. See the industries page for named roles in each.
Roles with a discriminatory brief. Roles where the budget cannot attract the profile described and neither can move. Any engagement that would charge candidates a fee. We say so on the first call rather than taking the brief and going quiet.
Book the 15-minute call or send a brief through the contact page. Describe the problem, not the service. You get a written recommendation with the fee model, the price and the first date within one business day.
Next step
One 15-minute call covers whether the role is fillable at your budget, which line fits, and when you will see the first shortlist. If we are not the right fit, we say so.
