Flat-Fee Recruiting
Built for Seed and Series A founders filling critical roles without an internal recruiting team or an agency taking 20–25% of the salary.
What's included
One flat fee covers the whole search, from the first conversation to the signed offer.
Sourcing and outreach
We search our candidate databases and network of professionals who want startup roles.
Initial screening
Every candidate is screened before you spend a minute on them.
Interview coordination
We schedule and coordinate interviews around your team.
Candidate communication
Follow-up and updates handled for you, start to finish.
Support through the hire
Help across the hiring process — not just a stack of resumes.
Flat, predictable pricing

No long-term contracts
Bring us in for one critical role or several.
No payment unless you hire
$0 upfront. You only pay when a candidate we introduced joins.
Why a flat fee
Don't hand an agency 20–25% of every salary
Traditional recruiting fees scale with salary — exactly when cash matters most. And building an internal recruiting team is a full-time cost before you've made a single hire. Hirearky charges one fixed fee, so the money stays in your runway.
