Why a flat fee

Don't hand an agency 20–25% of every salary

Traditional recruiting fees scale with salary — exactly when cash matters most. And building an internal recruiting team is a full-time cost before you've made a single hire. Hirearky charges one fixed fee, so the money stays in your runway.
