How This Relates to Recruiting
Silver.dev Advisory is independent from recruiting services—consult our fees here.
Advisory governs decisions and systems
We help you make better hiring decisions, not just execute searches.
Recruiting executes searches when needed
Some advisory clients later engage Silver.dev for contingency searches. Many don't.
No free sourcing
We're not doing recruiting under the guise of advisory. The advisory stands on its own.
No blurred incentives
We're aligned with your hiring success, not placement fees.
