We believe businesses should pay for the recruiting expertise and work they receive, not an expensive placement commission. That's why we publish our pricing: you know what a search costs before the first conversation, with no commission surprises. Every project is quoted and agreed on before work begins.

Yes. Next Team Talent is a professional recruiting consultancy. Our fees cover the agreed recruiting work, including search strategy, sourcing, screening, evaluations, and candidate recommendations. Payment is not contingent on making a hire.
The responsibilities, seniority, and expectations of a position shape the recruiting work involved, so 8% of the annual base salary gives a transparent starting point. Every search also requires a baseline of professional work whatever the position pays, which is why the minimum fee is $5,000. We also consider the complexity of the search when setting the final project quote.
Every search has different market conditions. Before we begin, we set the search scope, target shortlist, and timeline. If the candidate market is more limited than expected, we share what we found, review the search strategy, and agree on next steps within the engagement. We never lower qualification standards just to meet a candidate count.
No. We identify, screen, and evaluate candidates and give you our recommendations. Your team conducts final interviews, selects the candidate, and makes the employment offer.
No. Our standard Talent Search & Screening service does not include placement commissions or success fees.
It depends on the position, requirements, candidate availability, and market conditions. We set a search timeline during your initial consultation and send progress updates throughout the engagement.
Our work doesn't end with a list of candidates. We help businesses build structured, repeatable hiring practices that make future recruiting easier.
Every engagement includes the practical tools and recommendations that fit the services you purchase. They are yours to use for the steps your team runs.
Whether you're making a critical hire, developing your leaders, or strengthening your organization, we're here to help.
