How We Work
Recruiting support for when hiring outgrows internal capacity
HireMoxie partners with companies when hiring becomes harder to manage internally: whether due to growth, volume, or the need for targeted headhunting.
Sometimes that means acting as the recruiting function.
Other times it means extending an internal team that’s stretched thin.
How companies use HireMoxie
Companies typically engage HireMoxie in one of three situations:
- There’s no internal recruiting support in place yet
- Hiring volume has exceeded what internal recruiters can reasonably manage
- A highly specific or confidential role requires true headhunting
We flex based on the situation , not a rigid service model.

Direct Hire
Best for critical hires where fit truly matters.
For these searches, we work closely with hiring managers to get clear on what success actually looks like before engaging the market. We then conduct a focused, intentional search designed to surface candidates who align with the role, the team, and the business – not just the job description.
You’ll receive a small, curated shortlist of candidates who are ready for your time and attention.
Fewer resumes. Better conversations. Less second-guessing.
Ongoing Recruiting Support
Ideal for growing companies or teams managing multiple hires.
In these engagements, HireMoxie acts as an extension of your internal recruiting function. We help absorb hiring volume, maintain consistency, and keep searches moving without sacrificing quality.
This approach works especially well when internal teams are capable, just stretched thin.
Targeted Headhunting
Some roles require a different approach.
When a position is highly specific, confidential, or difficult to fill through traditional channels, we focus on targeted headhunting of passive talent. This means intentional outreach, discretion, and thoughtful screening – not mass messaging.
These searches take judgment and patience, and they’re often where HireMoxie adds the most value.
How we partner with internal recruiting teams
HireMoxie is often brought in to support internal recruiting teams, not replace them.
We step in when:
- Hiring volume spikes
- Timelines tighten
- Specialized roles require additional focus
Our goal is to reduce strain, not add complexity. We integrate cleanly, communicate clearly, and stay aligned with internal stakeholders throughout the process.
What you can expect
Regardless of engagement type, clients can expect:
- Clear alignment upfront
- Intentional, targeted searches
- Thorough screening
- Honest communication
- Ongoing involvement through interviews, decisions, and offers
No resume dumps.
No handoffs.
No disappearing acts.

RETAINED SEARCH
Our Retained Search offering is a highly custom search tailored to assist with your most difficult to fill, mission critical positions. It is our premiere search and requires the biggest commitment from our team. Retained Search is a reserved service which includes a dedicated recruiting project plan with superior expertise to represent your organization and attract senior level passive candidates.
Clients who are looking to fill senior level vacancies and confidential replacement searches generally prefer retained search.
We track all the candidates we communicate with and provide ongoing updates to the client with the progress and status of the search. This model is designed to give the client the confidence that the entire search is being fully managed and that they have a dedicated expert who is providing them with the best viable candidates in the market.

ENGAGED SEARCH
Our Engaged Search is considered the hybrid pricing model and it is often the logical choice for clients who would still like the superior performance of retained search, but with the upfront cost efficiency and payment structure that is competitive with Contingent Search.
The Engaged search is an excellent model for critical hiring needs that need to be fulfilled by a defined date. We suggest this model for clients who have hiring vacancies that must be completed within a 6-8-week window as we put a great sense of urgency towards the search.

CONTINGENT SEARCH
Our Contingent Search is preferred by clients generally for lower-level to mid-level searches when they would like to work with multiple recruiting firms on their searches or plan to continue internal recruiting efforts for the assigned role.
