Great sales and ops hires.
$15,000, whatever the salary.
Most agencies charge 20–25% of first-year salary, so the more senior the hire, the bigger the bill. We charge one flat fee, send a short list of people we've actually talked to, and stand behind every hire for 120 days.
| Base salary | Typical agency | Goldenrod |
|---|---|---|
| $90,000 | ~$19,800 | $15,000 |
| $130,000 | ~$28,600 | $15,000 |
| $180,000 | ~$39,600 | $15,000 |
Three steps. No surprises.
Kickoff call
We learn the role, the team and what a great hire looks like at your company. You get a fixed price before we start.
A short list, fast
Three to five people Ashley has interviewed herself, each with honest notes on strengths and risks.
Hire and check in
We help close the offer, then check in at 30, 60 and 120 days. If it doesn't work out, we find a replacement at no cost.
Why companies pick Goldenrod
One flat fee
Agreed up front, not a percentage of salary. A bigger salary doesn't mean a bigger bill.
People, not résumés
Ashley spent years in HR before recruiting. She screens for how someone will actually work, not just keywords.
120-day guarantee
If your hire leaves or isn't working out in the first 120 days, we find a replacement at no cost.
$15,000 per hire, whatever the salary.

Founder and principal recruiter
I've spent my career on the people side of business, first in HR and then in recruiting. What I've learned: a résumé gets someone in the door, but judgment is what makes a hire stick. I started Goldenrod because recruiting fees stopped making sense for growing companies. You'll work with me directly on every search.
Common questions
When do I pay?
Half the fee ($7,500) when we kick off the search, and the other half when your new hire signs their offer.
What if the hire leaves?
If they leave or don't work out within 120 days, we run the search again at no cost.
Do you work outside sales and ops?
Sometimes. If it's a role where we can do great work, we'll take it on. If not, we'll tell you and point you somewhere better.
