Richard Phillips’s Summary

I’m a “Head-Hunter”.

My network is now over 1500 connections.

I specialize in recruiting for well-funded, tech startups, primarily in the Software and Internet industries.

The hiring company pays my fee (not the job-seeker).

I charge 8% fees.

Contingency recruiting (hiring company does not owe me a fee until a person I presented for consideration has accepted an offer and has started work)

* Executive and technical contingency recruiting for small tech firms since 1995

* I handle positions at all levels and in all departments (Eng, SW, I.T., QA, Web, Mktg, Sales, BD, Fin, UI, Project Mgmt, Ops, H.R., etc.)


WHY YOU SHOULD WORK WITH ME IF YOU NEED TO HIRE PEOPLE:

1) Customer service
"Old-fashioned good manners"

2) Focus on Quality
When I do a search, I look for the whole package: smart, talented, energetic, articulate, productive, motivated

3) High Quality match = reduced turnover
My approach directly impacts the bottom line, as high quality matches between company and candidate greatly reduce turnover rates.

4) No Pressure
My pressure-free approach gives the company and the candidate breathing room so each party can see if the 'chemistry' is right.

5) Competitive fees
8% (rather than the standard 20-30% that most other search firms charge) and I make it up in volume over time. (case in point, I've placed 114 people over an 8 year period at client)

6) I'm fun to work with
If you have to hire people you might as well enjoy the process as much as possible - please see my recommendations
