Whether employer or employee — the start of your journey can make all the difference

For companies

Recruitment services built for growth.

Three core engagement models, plus a full suite of supporting services. Whether you're making your first hire or scaling a global team, we have a fit.

Global Placement — between New Zealand and the United Kingdom — Global Connections
Pay on placement

Contingency.

You only pay when we successfully place a candidate. Low risk, high reward.

Perfect for companies making their first few hires, testing a new function, or filling a single role without the commitment of a retainer.

  • Who it's for — first-time hirers, testing a new role, single specialist searches.
  • How it works — no upfront cost, you pay a placement fee only on a successful hire.
  • What you get — targeted search, fully briefed shortlists, candidate management end-to-end.

Embedded partnership

Retained search.

A full consultative partnership for businesses in serious growth or stealth mode.

We become an extension of your team — embedded in your process from day one, fully briefed on culture and strategy, and accountable for delivery to a defined timeline.

  • Who it's for — senior, niche, stealth or business-critical hires.
  • How it works — retainer split across milestones; exclusive engagement on the search.
  • What you get — deep market mapping, headhunting, weekly progress reporting, full process ownership.

New · Subscription

The Hybrid Model.

A subscription — you pay a flat monthly fee, we embed in your team as an extension of it.

A subscription-based way to work with us. You pay a flat monthly fee and we own recruitment across all your live roles — no percentage-of-salary charges per hire, no surprises. Ideal when you're growing fast across multiple roles or grades simultaneously.

  • Who it's for — companies with a minimum of 3 live roles to fill.
  • How it works — a flat monthly subscription, payable monthly — no per-hire percentage. We embed and act as an extension of your team.
  • The commitment — 3-month minimum contract, then rolling. Cancel anytime after that with 30 days' notice.
  • What you get — dedicated recruiter time, screening, shortlists and ongoing support across every live role.

Supporting services

More ways we help companies.

Two specialist add-ons that strengthen everything else — sharpen how you attract talent, and tighten the process that turns interest into hires.

Attraction

Talent attraction strategy

We help you define and communicate your employer value proposition so you attract the right people, before a role ever goes live.

Recruitment Workflow

Recruitment process audit

We review your existing hiring process, identify where you're losing great candidates and help you build something better.

Employer brand

Be known before a role ever goes live.

Working with Herdsearch, you accelerate your brand positioning in the market and build up a community of talent who are already aware of you.

Strategy

Brand Awareness

Many companies — even large ones — assume people know who they are, and many don't. Passive talent are even less likely to. Through our reach-out, project network searches and consistent touch points, local, skill-matched talent becomes aware of your brand before you ever need to advertise a role.

Community

Talent community

Build a warm pipeline of people who already know your brand — so when a role opens, the right candidates are already there.

"Accelerate your brand positioning in the market — so the right local, skill-matched talent already knows who you are, long before a role goes live."
