How much does it cost?
We do not publish rates. Cost depends on the ICP, channel mix, and target meeting volume. We scope the number on a 30 minute call and send it to you in writing. Terms are month to month with no long term contract.
How many meetings should we expect?
It depends on the market, but a typical CFE program books 40+ shown meetings a month (CFE-reported). Going live is the start of outreach, not a meeting promise.
Can you target specific verticals or geos?
Yes. Lists are built by industry, role type, headcount, hiring signals, and geography to match your ideal client.
Which buyer groups should a staffing and recruiting campaign target?
The goal of this campaign is employer-client acquisition. Select the role categories, geography and hiring model your recruiting team serves. An open job advert can guide research, but it does not prove that the employer wants an external recruiting partner.
| Offer | Buyer roles to consider | What to establish |
|---|---|---|
| Contract and temporary staffing | HR, operations or hiring manager | Role categories, location and a relevant staffing need |
| Direct hire and executive search | Hiring executive or talent acquisition leader | Search fit, stakeholder role and an appropriate discovery step |
| RPO and workforce programs | Talent acquisition or HR leadership | Hiring process, program scope and decision-making group |
What makes the first meeting useful?
A useful handoff records the employer profile, role or workforce need discussed, the contact’s responsibility and the next conversation. Your team confirms vacancies, commercial terms and candidate delivery. Candidate sourcing and applications are separate from these client meetings.
Agree the account criteria and meeting purpose before outreach. Report booked meetings, attended meetings and sales-accepted opportunities separately so the campaign is judged on relevance as well as activity.
What should you bring to the strategy call?
Bring your role specialties, hiring models, service regions and the employer accounts your team can support. Identify the person who will handle the meetings and how many conversations your team can follow up each week.
On the 30-minute call, we review target buyers, calling and email scope, sales capacity and pricing. Confirm responsibilities and any replacement terms in a written proposal.
