Recruiting for small businesses

Small businesses need one strong hire without an agency taking a percentage of the salary. HireSelect is a low-cost, flat-fee alternative: a vetted shortlist of 3 to 5 candidates for a flat $3,500, well under $5,000, and far below the $11,000 to $18,000 a traditional recruiter often charges on a single hire. You pay $500 to start and $3,000 on delivery, with no exclusivity and no lock-in.

Where we help most

Common small business hires.

  • Your first sales, operations, or finance hire
  • A key role you cannot afford to get wrong
  • Owner-level scrutiny on every candidate
  • Hiring without a monthly retainer or agency contract

Why small businesses choose HireSelect

The math is simple. A percentage-of-salary recruiter can cost several times more than a flat $3,500, and often asks for exclusivity. HireSelect gives you an experienced recruiter, AI-powered sourcing, and a vetted shortlist for one clear price you can see up front.
