With over 40 years of combined experience in staffing and recruitment, our Founders bring a diverse background that spans internal recruiting, talent acquisition management, and founding and scaling staffing enterprises. This extensive expertise has revealed a common challenge: critical roles are often relegated to contingency search firms, resulting in inadequate attention and unsatisfactory outcomes for Hiring Managers.

Understanding the financial strain and lack of a consultative approach typical of traditional commission-based recruiters & search firms, we established Upside Search to offer a smarter, more efficient solution. Our approach delivers the high-caliber service of retained search firms while maximizing your recruiting investment.

In a landscape where options are limited—internal hiring, contingent recruiters, or contract services—Upside Search stands out by providing a comprehensive solution that avoids the pitfalls of conventional methods. They offer a dedicated, partnership-driven approach that ensures exceptional hires and addresses the challenges of the saturated staffing industry.

At Upside Search, we are committed to enhancing the recruitment process with constant communication and unwavering dedication. We provide the control, confidence, and assurance that our clients need to achieve successful and positive hiring outcomes.

Commitment + Ownership = Significant Success

When companies look for external recruitment support, they often engage multiple commission-based recruiters, expecting swift results from their existing talent pools. However, these recruiters typically prioritize speed or fee size, leading to a transactional approach focused on quantity rather than quality. Data reveals that such recruiters only fill about 40% of the roles they take on, as their commitment and ownership of the recruitment process are lacking. Without immediate candidates, they often shift focus to other clients, resulting in unmet needs and slow progress for your organization.

At Upside Search, we take a different approach. We are dedicated to each client and role, treating every requisition as a priority. We believe that significant success is achieved through a genuine partnership where both parties are deeply invested. By working closely with your organization, we develop a thorough understanding of your needs and create customized recruitment strategies that deliver successful outcomes.

We assume full responsibility for filling each role and hold ourselves accountable for our results, with a proven success rate of filling 92% of the requisitions we undertake. We expect the same level of commitment from our clients to ensure a collaborative effort that meets hiring goals efficiently and effectively.
