QUALIFIED. INTERESTED. ALIGNED.

QUALIFIED ISN'T ENOUGH.

Interested matters. Alignment matters. That's QIA.

Finding candidates isn't the hard part.


Finding the right candidates, knowing they're genuinely interested in making a move, and making sure the important details line up before you invest your time is where the real work happens. That's what we do. QIA Search Partners combines experienced recruiting, direct candidate outreach, and real market intelligence to get you to the right candidates faster, without tying the cost of the search to what they earn.

WHY QIA?

SEARCH SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON RESULTS, NOT THE SIZE OF THE FEE.

Experienced recruiting. Clear expectations. Just results.

A great search shouldn't take months. And the fee shouldn't keep climbing simply because the salary does.


QIA Search Partners was built around a straightforward idea: understand exactly who you're looking for, move quickly to find them, and only present candidates worth your time.


We stay close to the work and keep you close to the market. You'll know what we're seeing, what candidates are saying and when something may be getting in the way of the search. The QIA Search costs significantly less than traditional retained search. Our search fee isn't a percentage of what your new employee earns. You know what you're buying and what it will cost before we start.

THE QIA SEARCH

THREE CANDIDATES. ONE CLEAR STANDARD. JUST RESULTS.

Before we start, we define exactly what qualified means. Then we strategically target people who meet that standard and interview them. We find out what a resume can't tell you. Do they really want the job, or are they just willing to have a conversation? Does the opportunity make sense for what they want next? Do the compensation, location, schedule, travel and other expectations line up? We have those conversations before we present them. So when a candidate reaches you, you already know there's a reason to keep talking.

QUALIFIED.

They meet all of the criteria for the search and have the experience, judgment, and track record to be a serious contender for the role.​

INTERESTED.

We've interviewed them. They understand the opportunity and have a genuine interest in pursuing it.

​

ALIGNED.

We've talked through compensation, location, work arrangement, timing and the other expectations that matter for this particular role.

The QIA Search delivers three candidates we've strategically targeted, interviewed and know are Qualified, Interested and Aligned. And while we're searching, we keep you close to the market. If candidates love the opportunity, you'll know. If they're pushing back on the salary, requirements or something else, you'll know that too.

THREE WAYS TO WORK WITH QIA

Sometimes you need a defined search. Sometimes you need extra recruiting horsepower. And sometimes the challenge is bigger than one open position. We work with clients in three ways.

THE QIA SEARCH

A focused search for organizations that want three strong candidates who are ready for a meaningful conversation. We define the search, strategically target the market, interview candidates and deliver three people who meet the QIA standard.

HOURLY SEARCH SERVICES

Not every recruiting project fits into a defined search. Hourly support gives you experienced recruiting and research help when you need flexibility. That might include running a search, market mapping, compensation research, exploratory sourcing, pipeline development or additional recruiting capacity for your internal team. You decide where you need the help. We plug in.

ADVISORY & SOLUTIONS

Sometimes finding candidates isn't the issue. We help organizations improve the systems, strategies and information behind better hiring. From recruiting processes and interview frameworks to market intelligence, AI strategy and recruiting systems, we can help you figure out what's working, what isn't and what to do next.
