Your next legal SEO hire will cost you $50,000–$80,000 if it goes wrong. Generalist recruiters can't vet for E-E-A-T depth, local SEO at scale, or legal client communication. They post the job, they send the CVs, you take the risk. We built the exact scorecard our headhunters use to place top-1% talent at agencies like Rankings.io, RizeUp Media, and Hennessey Digital, and we're giving it away free. 8 sections, A-player interview questions, a 25-point scoring grid, legal-specific red flags, and our 2026 salary benchmarks.

SEMrush needed a hire, fast. But they didn't have time to sift through hundreds of resumes, and hiring internally meant weeks of screening applications and running interviews. That's where we stepped in. We skipped the job boards. Sent a curated shortlist of pre-vetted specialists. Interview process cut in half. Role filled with an exceptional new hire. Nick trusted us enough to send his agency network our way. Every placement landed. That's not luck. We don't post on job boards. We headhunt from a private network of 50,000+ search marketers. Industry leading vetting, and the highest quality candidates only.
