Before the Search

Where a search
can go wrong.

The role

Get clear on what stays in-house.

Decide what this person should own and where your agency or other specialists still fit. We turn that into a clear role, level and pay range before the search.

Paid work

See how they would handle your marketing.

Interviews and role-specific work exercises help you understand how someone would approach your customers, channels and commercial goals. We agree the criteria before assessing candidates.

Starting over

The wrong hire doesn't just leave

A mismatch takes weeks to surface and months to unwind. You pay for the same role twice: once for the search that didn't work, and again for the one that follows. The work still needs doing. Your team covers the gap while you start again.

It wasn't a bad hire. It was a good person in the wrong role.

Nobody took the time to understand the difference.

The Process

We make your hiring decisions easier.
From discovery to a supported start.

Discover, Define, Headhunt, Understand, Evaluate and Start well. You approve the role, pay, shortlist and offer. We handle the work between.

    Discover

    Understand the business, the role and the work.

    Support the offer, transition and early working relationship.

We use a paid Work Simulation where it answers an important hiring question, using authorised information or an anonymised example. Timing depends on the role, market and decision speed.

Proof

How BabyEm hired
an Operations Manager.

Emma Dewey built BabyEm Training Agency from nothing. She tried Fiverr, graduates, consultants, recruitment agencies. For twelve years, every hire followed the same pattern: find someone promising, interview them, watch it fall apart within six months.

The business stalled for two years. Not because of the market, but because Emma couldn't get the right people in.

"SuperHired spent more time understanding my business in the first week than any agency had in twelve years combined."

Emma Dewey, Founder, BabyEm Training Agency

After our discovery process, Emma hired an Operations Manager in September 2025. The difference: we spent two weeks understanding what the role actually required before we looked at a single candidate.

The hires you've regretted started the same way: a great interview, a strong gut feeling, and hope that this time would be different.

This time, you'll meet people assessed against the work. Where a work exercise helps, you'll see how they approach it before you decide. They'll understand the role they're considering.

You'll have more than a good interview to go on.

Questions

Questions worth asking
before you commit.

What do you take off our plate?

You can hire through referrals or run a search yourself. We take on the role research, sourcing, screening, candidate communication, and comparison. You stay involved in the decisions without managing each step.

What does the 120-day guarantee actually mean?

A 120-day replacement-search guarantee is included, subject to the conditions in your service agreement. We'll explain those conditions before you commit. The period starts on their first day of employment.

How long does the process take?

Our planning estimate is about 5.8 weeks from sourcing to an accepted offer. Timing depends on the role, market and decision speed. We agree the search plan with you. Our timeline shows the assumptions from sourcing to offer accepted. Discovery and any notice period sit outside that estimate.

Who do you hire for?

Agencies are our core. We also hire marketing and go-to-market talent for in-house teams at consumer brands, sales-led businesses and consultancies. That means marketing-related roles, not general sales recruitment. HR and operations searches are considered on enquiry.

Why flat fee instead of a percentage?

Our fee is fixed. You know the number before we start. It does not rise with the salary you pay.

What do we get to keep if the engagement doesn't result in a hire?

Everything. The discovery deliverables, the Right Person Profile, the Work Driver analysis, the Job Deck, the salary benchmark. These are yours regardless of outcome. Clients tell us the discovery alone changed how they think about the role.

Honest About Fit

We're not built for all hires,
and we'll tell you.

A flat fee only makes sense for certain hires. Here are the situations where we do our best work. When we're not a fit, we'd rather say so now and not waste your time.

We're built for you when…

  • You're filling a permanent marketing role, and a bad hire would be expensive to fix.
  • You're a founder, marketing, operations or people leader without time to run the whole search.
  • You've run a search yourself before, and it took over your calendar.
  • How someone works matters to you as much as their skills.
  • You'd rather hire one person who truly fits than three who almost do.
  • You're ready to define the role and agree the search plan before we approach people.

We're not the right fit when…

  • You need bulk or high-volume staffing, like ten of the same role at once.
  • You're hiring for temporary or contract work.
  • The role pays under about $60,000, where a flat fee doesn't make economic sense.
  • You need someone to start within days, without time to understand the role or assess the match.

We work with companies across the United States and select international teams.

If we're not right for this one, we'll tell you on the Scoping Call.
