Our Fees
Executive Search
As a small, boutique retained search firm, HiWire has lower overhead, more flexibility and can
typically complete searches faster than most large, traditional search firms. Combined with
our common sense, startup-friendly approach, these factors lead to simplified and significantly
lower pricing for retained searches.
We also believe in a flat-fee approach. That way, you know up front how much a search will
cost. We earn the same amount regardless of the final compensation package. We do the
same amount of work regardless of whether a CEO negotiates a total package of $300K or
$400K. Why should our fee be 33% higher in the latter case? Why should we be motivated to
push candidates to negotiate for higher compensation?
Please contact Web Augustine (web at hiwire dot com) to discuss your particular executive
search needs.
