In one sentence: web3hire.help quotes a fixed fee per role, confirmed in writing before signing.
After the profile is confirmed you pay a 10% deposit to start the search, and receive a
10-name shortlist within 24 hours. If no suitable candidate is found, the deposit is fully refunded.

This is the fundamental difference from traditional search — a percentage model means "the more senior the hire, the more you pay", while a fixed fee locks the cost before signing.

You screen the initial shortlist and remove anyone who does not fit; we keep replenishing against your feedback until the list is back to 10 qualified candidates.
Reaching agreement with any candidate on the list — advisor engagement, full-time hire, or investment/financing endorsement — counts as a successful search, and payment falls due under the service terms.
A fixed fee per role, quoted as a total and confirmed in writing before signing — not a percentage of annual salary. The fee depends on the seniority of the expert, the complexity of the engagement and the cooperation model; a detailed quote is provided after the first consultation.
A deposit of 10% of the total. After the profile is confirmed and the deposit is paid, the search starts within 24 hours.
Yes — fully refunded.
No. The fixed fee is confirmed in writing before signing; if candidates are not right we keep refilling until a hire is made, with no price increase.
