Go Beyond the Platform

Specialist headhunting for critical hires where the right person may not already be active within the SearcHive network, we extend the search into our wider network.

You still receive a shortlist of interested, relevant candidates. We simply search further to find them.

Pricing

£2,000+ VAT / search

Add it only when the role warrants a wider search.

Your first one each year is free.

What's included

Search beyond the SearcHive network. We extend your search into the wider market to find people who match your specific requirements.
Access to people who aren't job hunting. Reach relevant finance professionals who may never see or respond to an advert.
Personal, role-specific outreach. Every approach is about your role and why it could be relevant to that individual, not a generic campaign.
Interest qualified before you see them. Only relevant candidates who are interested in your opportunity make your shortlist.
A broader search, not a longer shortlist. We widen where we search, not what lands in your inbox.

Pay however suits your cashflow.

Same price either way. Spread it at £1,000 + VAT a month across the year, or settle the £12,000 + VAT upfront and forget about it. No difference to what you get.

The Maths

One agency placement costs more than a whole year of SearcHive.

Average agency placement

£12,000–15,000

For one hire. Typically due in full within 30 days, and often far higher on senior roles.

vs

SearcHive · Full Year

£12,000

For every hire that year. Or £1,000 a month, spread across the year.

One placement fee already costs as much as a full year of SearcHive. Make two hires the old way and you'd have paid for two years instead.

How This Compares

Shortlists you can trust, every time.

LinkedIn, job boards and search tools all do the same thing: hand you access to candidates and leave you starting from the beginning every time a role opens. LinkedIn Recruiter Corporate alone runs to roughly £8,000 per seat a year, before InMail top-ups, job adverts or Talent Insights.

SearcHive gets you the shortlist itself, matched and ready to interview. Keep your existing ATS or LinkedIn seat — SearcHive replaces the sourcing and sifting work, not the tools you've already paid for.

What Clients Say

Finance leaders who made the switch.

I had to quickly build a first class Finance team. This needed to be done cost effectively whilst delivering the quality of candidates that could span a FTSE 100 environment and the challenges and constant change of a start-up. SearcHive was incredibly fast to shortlist candidates and highly cost-effective for hiring multiple roles.

We have now made ten hires using the SearcHive platform. It's been an incredibly efficient and cost-effective way to secure quality talent for a high growth PE backed SaaS business. Whatever the role the speed and success of the process has been exactly the same every time. I wouldn't go anywhere else now. Highly recommend.
