Why use Hi.[erme] over a typical executive search firm?

Other search firms can be EXPENSIVE!

Typical firms charge an average 30% search fee. Hi.[erme] starts at 20%, with flexible options to customize your needs and DIY recruiting tools.

Traditional firm talent professionals are overwhelmed.

Swarmed with hundreds (even thousands!) of applications for just one of their (many) searches, typical search firm recruiters often don't have the time or resources to review each application to ensure the right fit. They wind up juggling anywhere from 3-6+ searches from multiple clients at one time, allowing less time dedicated to each search, with more reliance on active vs. passive candidates.


Hi.[erme] and you'll be my only active client until your search closes, ensuring the proper time & attention needed. I keep my simple platform updated, accurate, easy-to-access and interpret.

Client & candidate experience are rapidly declining.

Typical search firm recruiters also struggle to keep up with timely and detailed reporting, consistent candidate & client feedback, and appropriately handling sensitive and urgent information and materials. With recent mass layoffs in the tech and talent industries, candidates remember how they are treated and are more likely to pick up the phone for future opportunities when they have positive & considerate interactions with recruiters.


Hi.[erme] if you value professionalism paired with kindness. I believe in treating all candidates and clients with consideration & mutual respect.

Search teams (and their schedules) are busier than ever.

It's near impossible to find mutual time across multiple calendars to schedule calls & interviews, and keep track of who's who throughout. Traditional firms are often in back-to-back zooms with other clients, where urgent emails and reschedule requests are forwarded to an admin or coordinator, overcomplicating and slowing down processes.


Hi.[erme] and you get one dedicated partner per search, handling every step from start to finish using a simplified, user-friendly hiring platform that modernizes and simplifies hiring. One less cog in the wheel!
