For fractional leaders, advisors, and agency owners
When your client needs a new hire, you shouldn't have to become their recruiter.
Your reputation is on the line with every introduction you make, and we treat it that way. On the first call, your client gets a firm date for their candidate shortlist. On day 15, Josh tells you whether we are on track. If the candidate search runs into a problem, we tell you first. If a hire doesn't work out, we run a replacement search.
You found us through Listed Fractional. We don't compete with fractional leaders like you. We run candidate searches for the full-time people your clients need around you.
Day 15.
Josh tells you whether the candidate search is on track.
Paid.
You get paid when your client hires their first candidate through us.
120 days.
If the new hire leaves within 120 days, we run a replacement candidate search.
Why advisors send us their clients
You are often the first person a founder tells when the business needs another pair of hands. Then the founder asks if you know anyone. Before long, you are writing job ads and reading résumés on top of your real work. And your real work waits until someone is hired.
We take that off your plate. We help your client write the job description and set the pay. We build the candidate pipeline, test each person on real work, and send a candidate shortlist with a plain explanation of who stood out and why. Your client decides who to hire. You stay their advisor.
What you get
- A date, not a hope.
- On the first call, we agree with your client on a date for the candidate shortlist. You will know that date, too.
- A straight answer on day 15.
- Fifteen days into the candidate search, Josh sends you a short note on the candidate pipeline. It says whether we are on track. If we are behind, it says why and what we are changing.
- Paid when your client hires.
- You get paid when your client hires their first candidate through us, and again for each new hire after that at the same client.
- Introductions back to you.
- When one of our clients needs help that we don't give, we introduce them to partners we trust.
What you receive
$1,750 the first time a client you introduced hires a candidate through us. That includes a client who reaches out to us and names you.
Every new hire after that at the same client earns you $750, for up to five more in the six months after their first payment to us.
- We pay you as soon as your client has paid our fee in full.
- Rather not take the money? We will take it off your client's bill instead.
- It costs you nothing. We put these terms in writing before your first introduction.
Who this is for
Fractional CMOs, COOs, integrators, and CFOs who work with founder-led marketing agencies and the service businesses around them. Agency owners, strategists, consultants, and coaches are welcome, too. The same offer applies.
We run one candidate search at a time for an important full-time job, with pay between $60,000 and $300,000 a year.
If you're the fractional CMO
The Retention Strategist or Email Marketing Specialist who runs Klaviyo, CRM, and lifecycle every day. The Media Buyer who owns the accounts you set the strategy for.
If you're the fractional COO or integrator
The operations manager who makes the process you designed stick after you've moved to the next quarter. The account manager who keeps clients close.
If you're the fractional CFO
The operations manager or account lead your forecast assumes is already in the seat. When the number depends on a person, we run the candidate search for that person.
Five moments worth an introduction
The founder is still doing work they should have handed off months ago.
One job description is trying to cover two or three different jobs.
The founder has already interviewed people, and none of them were right.
The founder and their partners can't agree on what the new person should do.
The candidate they were about to hire said no at the last minute.
How the candidate search works
You introduce us.
Ask your client first. Then send one email to both of us, using the template below.
We reply within one business day.
We write to your client and copy you.
We agree on the job and a date.
On the first call, your client tells us who they need, and we agree on a date for the candidate shortlist.
Josh updates you on day 15.
After that, you hear from us when the candidate shortlist goes out and when a candidate accepts the job.
Your client hires, and we pay you.
The money goes out as soon as your client has paid our fee in full.
The introduction template
[Founder], you mentioned you need a [job title] to [do what]. SuperHired helps you write the job description, builds the candidate pipeline, and tests each person's skills, so you don't have to run the whole candidate search yourself.
Josh, [Founder] is happy for me to introduce you. I'll let you take it from here.
What your client pays
A standard candidate search costs your client $7,500. Senior candidate searches cost $10,000 to $15,000, and executive candidate searches cost $15,000 to $25,000. Your client pays 30% to get started and the other 70% when a candidate accepts their job offer. If they don't hire anyone through us, they owe nothing more. If the new hire leaves within 120 days, we run a replacement candidate search, subject to the conditions in your client's agreement with us.
What we ask of you
Ask your client first.
Only introduce people who have agreed to hear from us.
Let us say no.
If we are not the right fit for a candidate search, we will tell you and your client straight away.
Let us make our own promises.
Please don't promise your client a date or a guarantee on our behalf. We agree those with them directly.
Treat candidates as people.
If you meet someone we introduce, treat them the way you would want to be treated.
FAQ
Do I have to tell my client that you pay me?
That is your decision. If you would rather not take the money, we will take it off your client's bill instead.
What if the candidate search takes longer than expected?
You will know early. On the first call, we agree with your client on a date for the candidate shortlist. Josh writes to you on day 15. If we are behind, his note tells you why and what we are changing.
Will you compete with me for my client?
No. We don't offer fractional or consulting work, and we don't run candidate searches for fractional leaders. We run candidate searches for the full-time people your plan depends on.
When do I get paid, and what if my client doesn't hire anyone?
We pay you as soon as your client has paid our fee in full. If your client doesn't hire anyone through us, there is nothing to pay, and the introduction cost you nothing.
Does my client need to be ready to hire right now?
No. You can talk with us first and introduce a client later. An introduction doesn't commit you or your client to anything.
What if you can't start a candidate search right away?
We will tell you and your client in our first reply, and we will give you a real start date. We would rather say "not yet" than start a candidate search we can't run well.
Do you ever send clients to partners?
Yes. When one of our clients needs help we don't give, like a fractional CFO, an operator, or a strategist, we introduce them to partners we trust.
