FAQ's

• What makes ProspectHub the right partner for our hiring?

We’re not a volume-based agency—we’re a dedicated headhunting partner. We take the time to understand your business, then go directly to market to find people who truly fit, even if they’re not actively looking. With transparent pricing and no inflated commissions, you get senior-level attention and stronger hires, faster.​

• What types of roles do you typically fill?

We specialise in tech and sales roles, typically at mid to senior levels. These are the kinds of hires where quality, cultural fit, and timing are critical.

• What makes ProspectHub different from traditional recruitment agencies?

We don’t rely on job boards or active applicants. ProspectHub headhunts passive talent—high-quality professionals who aren’t actively applying but are open to the right opportunity. Our model is leaner, more transparent, and designed to deliver better-fit hires, faster.

• Why are your rates lower than traditional recruitment agencies?

At ProspectHub, we’ve stripped out the unnecessary overheads that drive up agency fees—no flashy offices, bloated databases, or layered account teams. Instead, we run a lean, specialist model focused on targeted headhunting and real outcomes. Our lower fee structure reflects the actual work involved, not inflated margins. You get senior-level expertise, direct communication, and better candidates—without paying for the fluff.

• How is your pricing structured, and what are the benefits for us?

Our pricing is split into two parts: a small, fixed retainer to begin the search, and the remaining balance only payable when you successfully hire a candidate. This structure ensures we’re equally invested in the outcome from day one—without requiring a full commitment upfront. Unlike traditional agencies that charge large success-only fees, our approach is lean, transparent, and aligned with actual delivery. Most clients save significantly on each hire, while benefiting from faster turnaround, better-fit candidates, and a partner genuinely focused on long-term success—not quick wins.

• How quickly can you deliver candidates?

You’ll typically see a strong shortlist within 7–10 business days from kick-off. Timelines can vary based on the role and location, but we move with speed and focus.

• What happens if we don’t hire anyone?

The retainer covers the upfront search and candidate outreach, so it’s non-refundable. Even if you don’t make a hire, you gain valuable market insights, messaging feedback, and candidate data that can inform future hiring decisions.

• Do you work with internal TA teams or directly with hiring managers?

Both. Whether you have an in-house team or need help directly as a founder or manager, we slot in seamlessly to support your hiring goals.

• Do you work across Australia?

Yes. We work with businesses and candidates in every state and territory across Australia, with a strong understanding of regional and metro markets.

• How do you find passive candidates?

We use a blend of research, direct outreach, and strategic messaging to engage candidates who aren’t actively job hunting but may be open to a compelling opportunity. These people won’t be found on job boards or in agency databases.

• What tools or platforms do you use for sourcing?

We leverage a combination of advanced sourcing technology, proprietary methods, and personalised messaging—not bulk spam. It’s tailored headhunting, not just recruiting.

• Can we customise the search criteria?

Absolutely. Each search is bespoke. We align closely with you on the ideal candidate profile, cultural fit, must-haves, and nice-to-haves before beginning outreach.

• How many candidates will you typically present?

We focus on quality, not quantity. You can expect a curated shortlist—usually between 3–5 highly qualified candidates—based on deep screening and alignment with your brief.

• Will we have visibility into your process?

Yes. We provide regular updates on outreach progress, candidate responses, and insights from the market. You’ll always know where things stand.

• Do you work with startups or only larger companies?

Both. We’re especially effective for founder-led startups and scaleups that need to make high-impact hires but don’t want to pay inflated agency fees. But we also partner with mid-sized and enterprise teams that want a sharper, more targeted approach.

• Is there flexibility in your pricing for ongoing or multiple hires?

Yes. If you’re hiring for several roles or have ongoing needs, we can create a tailored engagement that maintains our lean model while delivering extra value. Let’s have a conversation about what makes sense for your hiring roadmap.
