Why Bergman Holt?

01. Fixed-fees

We charge fixed fees rather than a % of salary, meaning our partners know exact costs up front. Our incentive is finding the best candidate, not the highest salary.

02. Speed

We move with uncommon speed when hiring. Our avg. time between meeting partners and providing a candidate shortlist is 2 weeks vs the average of 6-8.

03. Transparency

We use project management tools to provide visibility across our hiring process, including conversations with candidates & their terms, meaning no surprises.

04. Success

Around 97% of the candidates we place remain with the organisation for at least three years, demonstrating how we prioritise both the search and cultural fit
