RETAINED SEARCH
"TRY BEFORE YOU COMMIT"
Need to fill a high-stakes role fast? Start with our Retained Search—low flat fee, no long-term contract. If it’s a fit, we’ll credit it toward your full plan.
Experience how we work before signing for more.
Hiring a key player shouldn’t feel like a gamble, and working with a recruiting partner shouldn’t require blind trust.
At Inside Talent, we understand that committing to a full recruiting contract can feel like a lot when you're scaling fast, juggling priorities, or navigating internal bandwidth issues. That’s why we offer a retained search option designed for companies that need to make a critical hire without the pressure of committing to a full contract.
Whether you're hiring your first head of engineering, a crucial finance leader, or any high-impact role, we help you fill it fast with quality, alignment, and predictability baked in.
How does our Retained Search work?
You engage us for one priority role with a low, fixed fee. And if you decide to continue working with us, that fee will be credited toward a full-service contract!
Test The Waters Without The Commitment
We get it. Maybe a past hiring partner fell short, or you’re simply not ready to jump into a long-term commitment. With this offer, you can move forward with no hesitation. It's a test drive, not a leap of faith.
Real Results in Just Weeks
We’re not here to waste time (yours or ours). Our average time to first candidate is 2–3 weeks, and we don’t send filler. You’ll see right away how we operate: intentional, strategic, and laser-focused on alignment.
Credit Your Way Into A Full Partnership
If you love how we work (and most of our clients do), you can roll your initial fee into a full recruiting partnership. That means zero wasted investment and a seamless handoff into more long-term hiring momentum.
Curious what hiring without the high stakes looks like?
If you’ve got one role that needs to be filled right away but you’re not yet ready to commit to a full team buildout, this is your move.
Let us show you how hiring can feel faster and more aligned with the way your business actually works!
