Screen, present, support the close
Phone-screened candidates with structured screen reports, panel coordination, candidate prep and debrief, offer drafting and negotiation support. Median time-to-fill on this role is around 48 days when search is run as a focused engagement.
Compensation transparency
How we calibrate offers.
We benchmark against the $85K to $155K range with adjustments for tenure, geography, and equity stage. We do not lowball offers to win a close. If your target band is below market for Tax Specialist in US, we will tell you in the calibration call and offer the trade-off honestly: accept the band and a smaller pool of candidates, or adjust the band and reach the full pool. The conversation is on the table from week one, not after a failed offer.
