Frequently Asked Questions

At HiPo Search, we have a rigorous screening process for candidates that includes a comprehensive review of their qualifications, experience, and references - those provided by the candidates and those we source within our network. We conduct behavioral and competency-based interviews to assess their fit with the client's organization and are happy to incorporate any additional vetting procedures  preferred by the client. 

At HiPo Search, we are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in the executive search process. We have a diverse candidate pool and use inclusive search methods to identify top talent from underrepresented groups. While we are committed to providing a diverse slate of candidates, our primary objective is to find the best leaders for our clients. 

With our engaged search model, we are able to offer more competitive rates and payment terms than traditional retained executive search firms.   

Fees: 20% of the first year compensation of the placed leader. Reduced fee structure available for multi-search assignments.

• 10% of the expected fee is invoiced at time of engagement. 
• 30% of the expected fee is invoiced after agreed upon milestones are reached. 
• Remainder and any adjustments invoiced when the new leader is successfully placed in the role. 

Our contingent search model fees range from 25-30%, with reduced rates for multi-search assignments. 

HiPo search is a proud supporter of the Atlanta Metropolitan Community and donates 10% of all search fees to charity. 

HiPo Search provides a guarantee period for all search placements. If the placement leaves the organization within the first 12 months of their employment, we will conduct a new search for the client at no additional cost.
