Speed Up My Search is an IT Recruiting Firm. Our Recruiters are paid to find talented IT professionals for the employers who hire us. The fees outlined below are for employers who hire us, not for candidates seeking help with their search.
Our Guarantee
We guarantee thorough vetting of every candidate before sending their resume to you. We guarantee honest feedback from the marketplace about your position. We offer a 180 day guarantee, prorated over time as more of their reasons for staying become about management and culture, and less about our selection process. Details of our prorated terms are included in our fee agreement.
Our Fees
Curious Job Seekers: Yes, fees are a “percentage” of salary, but it does not come out of the salary, it is simply calculated from the base salary number; paid separately.
The fee schedule below is here for the benefit of employers who need our services. We believe in complete transparency, to both our candidates and our employer clients, so these are our fees. It’s important to note that when you hire a headhunter, you are paying for their network and their ability to access and deliver the best people.
Different headhunters bring you different networks, and therefore charge different fees. If the success of your company depends on the quality of your people, then working with the right recruiting firm is essential.
We can give your jobs more coverage than any other single recruiting firm due to our network. Take a look!
We have an immediate network of more than 39,000 local IT professionals, and we are members of a national network of more than 510 elite recruiting firms employing 1,000+ recruiters. That gives us access to a shared database of more than 3 Million people AND the recruiters who have those relationships!
We Recruit AND Post for you.

***All engagement fees are credited toward the total fee upon completion of the search.
This model allows our clients to select the priority of their roles and the desired service levels we provide, which has been working very well for our current clients.
Our recruiters are commission based, and prioritize their time accordingly, so as you move higher on fee scale, they of course will increase the priority they place on your position over our other positions. However at any level, our exclusive, engaged searches are always our top priorities.
