Vettara Search
Retained technical recruiting. Every candidate protocol-vetted before you see them.
10–15% success fee
payable after probation • not on start date
What You Get
- 10–15% fee vs 20–25% industry standard—and you pay after the hire passes probation, not on day 1
- Zero risk: You don’t pay unless the hire sticks. No retainer, no upfront cost
- Pre-vetted shortlists: Every candidate has passed a 60–90 min technical deep-dive. Hiring managers interview finalists, not maybes
- ~90% offer acceptance: We assess motivation, culture fit, and comp expectations during the protocol
The Alternative
- Traditional recruiting agencies: 20–25% of Year 1 salary ($40K–$75K per senior hire). Fee due on start date regardless of retention
- In-house recruiting: $80K–$120K/recruiter + $10K–$20K/yr tools. Struggles with specialized senior roles
- Contingency search: 15–20% fee but you’re one of 3–5 agencies. Incentivizes speed over quality
SLA: First shortlist of 3–5 vetted candidates in 10–14 business days. Avg time-to-offer: 25–30 days.
