Your team, built by ours.
When a growth plan calls for several senior hires in quick succession, sequential searches cannot keep pace and a staffing agency is the wrong fit. Echelon places experienced Horton recruiters inside your team for as long as you need them.
Embedded recruiting, at your level.
A retained search places one leader. A staffing agency works on volume. Echelon sits between them: experienced recruiters embedded in your team, accountable for your hiring and using the same Aperture 360 assessment as our executive searches.
You gain recruiting capacity and senior judgment inside the business, rather than a vendor forwarding resumes.
A team that scales with your plan.
- 01
We embed
A dedicated Horton recruiter or team joins your hiring effort and, within the first two weeks, learns your compensation bands, interview process and exclusions.
- 02
We build
We run each role end to end: market mapping, direct outreach to passive candidates, Aperture 360 assessment and shortlists your team can act on.
- 03
You scale
As your needs change, the team scales up or down, so you maintain hiring pace without adding permanent headcount.
Designed for growth hiring.
Echelon suits a few situations: a build-out after a funding round or acquisition, a new function that needs five or ten leaders rather than one, a hiring pace a single search cannot sustain, or a team that wants senior recruiting capability before building a full in-house function.
One team, one retainer.
You receive a dedicated recruiter or team, access to candidates who are not on the market, and Aperture 360 assessment on every role. Echelon is a single monthly retainer scoped to your hiring plan, in place of per-hire fees. At five or more hires a year, the retainer typically costs less than the fees it replaces.
