Venn Recruiting
Experienced fractional recruiting directors.
A 24-month guarantee on every hire.
An AI-native service delivery model.
Priced below contingency, retained, and in-house recruiting.
What Venn delivers
Four commitments. Every search.
01 · Directors
Experienced fractional recruiting directors.
The lead director runs intake, deep interviews, slate, close, and the 24-month retention window. No junior recruiters and no team you have never met. The person who understands the role is the person who fills it.
02 · Guaranteed
A 24-month guarantee on every hire.
If the hire leaves at any point in the first 24 months — for any reason other than the role being eliminated — Venn runs the replacement search at no additional charge. Where possible, the same director, with the calibration already done.
03 · AI-Native
An AI-native service delivery model.
Sourcing, screening, scheduling, and transcription run on a modern agent stack. The director’s time concentrates where judgment matters — calibration, deep interviews, and the close.
04 · Priced Below
Priced below contingency, retained, and in-house recruiting.
Salary-indexed monthly pricing across the full 24-month window. No contingency premium. No front-loaded retained fee. Materially below the loaded cost of an in-house recruiting function.
Why this works
A guarantee that matches the actual failure window.
Most recruiting firms guarantee their hires for 30 to 90 days. At the senior level, almost no failures surface in that window. Most appear later — across months six through twenty-four — long after the typical guarantee has closed and the placement fee has been paid in full.
Typical firm covers
The first 5%.
Coverage ends at day 90 — before nearly any senior hire failure has surfaced.
Venn covers
The full curve.
Retention guarantee runs the full 24 months — through the window where 50%+ of senior hires fail.
Cumulative senior-hire attrition. Sources: Bureau of Labor Statistics; Corporate Executive Board research across ~30,000 leaders. Senior-hire failure rates have remained stable at 40–50% across long-running industry studies including Heidrick & Struggles and Leadership IQ. Methodology
A guarantee that ends before the risk does is not a guarantee.
Who Venn serves
Two buyer profiles. One delivery model.
Venture-backed
