How Shamrock Works

The model

• Direct-hire contingency. You pay only on a placement you make.
• Fee is a percentage of first-year base salary, agreed in writing before the search begins.
• Replacement guarantee period defined in the agreement.
• Invoice terms net 30.

What happens after the kickoff call

1. 01Kickoff call to define the role, the package, and the profile — usually 30 minutes
2. 02Sourcing begins the same day the agreement is signed
3. 03First qualified candidates presented, typically within five to ten business days depending on scarcity
4. 04Every submittal includes a written summary: why they would move, current package, target number, timeline, and constraints
5. 05Interview coordination, feedback loop, and offer support through start date

What we need from you

• A decision maker on the kickoff call
• Feedback on submittals within 48 hours — this is the single biggest driver of whether you land the candidate
• A defined interview process before we start, not invented mid-search
• Honesty about the package range

We work a narrow niche on purpose: power, commercial construction, and mission-critical infrastructure. If your role is outside that, we will tell you rather than take the assignment.
