PERCH| talent search
Perch is an independent recruitment and consulting firm rooted in Portland, Oregon, built to serve growing businesses across the Northwest who want a recruiting partner that works like an extension of their team, not a vendor processing a transaction.
Over a decade of experience. Real relationships. A process built around you.
Whether you need one great hire, ongoing recruiting support, or help navigating your own next career move, Perch brings the experience, the relationships, and the personal investment to get it right.
We work with small and mid-sized businesses who are growing, hiring, and figuring it out as they go. And we work with candidates who are ready for something better and want a real person in their corner.
Our Services
We work with growing businesses at every stage of their hiring journey. Whether you need one great hire or a recruiting partner for the long term, we have a model that fits.
Contingent Recruitment
You only pay when we place someone. We manage the full search end to end and deliver a thoughtful slate of candidates who are the right fit for your team, your culture, and where you are headed.
Fractional & Embedded Recruitment
An experienced recruiter in your corner on a part-time or project basis, working as a true extension of your team. All the support, none of the overhead.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing
For companies ready to hand off recruiting entirely. We own the process from sourcing through offer so your team can stay focused on the work that only they can do.
We hire across functions and industries. From individual contributors to director-level leaders, across operations, finance, marketing, technology, construction, and beyond - if the hire matters to your business, it matters to us.
Why Perch
Being an independent recruitment firm matters more than it might sound. Without the overhead of a large agency, we operate leaner and pass that directly to our clients in the form of more competitive pricing, more flexibility, and a more personal experience from start to finish.
The bigger difference is how we charge. Most recruiting firms bill a percentage of a new hire's salary, which means their fee goes up every time you hire someone great. We think that is the wrong model. Perch charges a flat fee, agreed upon before the search begins, based on the level of the role and never tied to what the candidate earns. You plan your budget with confidence and make hiring decisions based on fit, not cost.
Every engagement comes with a 90-day replacement guarantee and flexible payment terms, including installment options.
Simple, transparent, and built around your success.
Flat fee pricing, never a percentage of salary - typically 5 to 15% less than traditional agency fees
Agreed upon cost before the search begins
90-day replacement guarantee on every hire
Flexible payment terms including installment options
A dedicated partner on every engagement, start to finish
