How it works
01
You tell us the seat
A paragraph is enough. Discipline, seniority, engine, start date and how long.
02
You get a shortlist in 2 working days
People already in our curated network. Each with shipped credits matched to your requirements, with costs and portfolios up front.
03
You interview, you choose
Our producer sits in if you want. If nobody fits, we say so.
04
They start, on our kit, in your team
A flat monthly fee against a purchase order. Nobody joins your payroll. They're in your Slack and your stand-ups, working to your lead, with our employment, kit and cover behind them.
05
30 days' notice, either way
If the fit is wrong, we swap the person and keep the thread. If the project outgrows one desk, the overflow comes back to our studio.
What it costs
One flat monthly fee, per seat.
One flat monthly fee per artist, priced by discipline, seniority and where the seat sits. We aim to be competitive with hiring in-house, with no recruitment fee, no employee notice period and no headcount on your books. Horizons seats typically run 6 to 12 months.
Request a quoteWhy not a recruiter
A recruiter charges about 20% of a year's salary, once. We charge a flat month, for as long as you need the seat. Nobody joins your payroll. 30 days' notice runs both ways.
Your hires come from our global team and the network we have built up over years. Everyone goes through a careful vetting process, so you get the best and most appropriate people for your project, and never anyone from a client's own team.
If you want a permanent hire, use a recruiter. For anything shorter, the flexibility of Horizons costs you less and carries less risk than a permanent hire.
