Engagement options

Flexible engagements. No surprises.

Contingency

Most popular

You only pay when you hire. Roles are worked on a contingency basis — no upfront fees, no retainer. Best for companies with 1–3 open engineering roles.

Retained search

For critical hires

For senior, hard-to-fill, or confidential roles where speed and exclusivity matter. A retained engagement means your search is prioritized above all others.

Embedded recruiting

High-volume hiring

Need to scale fast? Embedded recruiters join your team on a fractional basis — acting as your in-house recruiter for a defined period. Ideal for seed-to-Series B growth sprints.

Why BetterNow
