Why HireDirectNow

I run every search like a retained search. No retainer and nothing up front.

One owner

I run your search myself, from intake to your new hire's first day. You won't be passed between recruiters.

How AI fits in

AI helps me reach active and passive talent. I screen every candidate for skills, experience and fit.

Our fee

No retainer and nothing up front. We agree the fee before the search starts. Every search is backed by a 90-day guarantee.

How it works

From intake to your new hire's first day.

  1. IntakeSend the role online or on a call. We define the result the hire has to produce.

  4. First dayWe keep sourcing while you interview, then run the offer and any counter-offer through your new hire's first day.

Your shortlist of 5–10 vetted candidates arrives within days. Then we keep going: sourcing, recruiting and vetting until your new hire's first day.
