360 Recruiter | Retained Tech Search | $1m+ Desk Opportunity
*This role will get a lot of applicants. Realistically less than 20% will have the billing track record and market depth this firm is looking for. If you’re a strong biller who knows how to run a retained search, don’t let the application numbers put you off – this is worth a conversation.*
Founded in 2024, this specialist tech search firm has gone from zero to $1m billed in 13 months, with the founder personally billed $980k in 2025. 2026 projection is $2.5m.
They work exclusively on retained mandates with some of the fastest growing VC-backed scale‑ups in the US. Data, AI, Software Product and Cloud. Roles typically sit at $150-400k+ total comp. Average fees are typically $40-50k, time to fill 30-45 days.
Their comms scheme goes up to 40% with no threshold, and no splits on passed deals.
This is not a CV shop. The market is candidate-driven and the expectation is you’re deeply networked, consultative, and capable of running a proper retained search. Every consultant gets live retained mandates from day one.
I’ve personally placed 3 people here. All three built $100k+ pipelines within their first 3 months. You don’t need to be the finished article, just willing to push yourself and learn from a really strong team.
The setup:
- Exclusive VC partnerships, warm client base from day one
- 25‑30% fees, commission up to 45% depending on level
- Quarterly trips to NY and SF
- 3 days London Bridge, flex hours (10‑11am start)
- MacBooks, private healthcare, David Lloyd
- 2x weekly leadership coaching, monthly external L&D
Who fits:
Senior (2yr+) or Principal (5yr+) level. High billers from structured, high-performance environments. You need to want to learn. Low ego, high drive, and willing stay somewhere long enough to build something.
4 hires before end of year. 3 stage process.
