How does No Cure, No Pay hiring work?

No Cure, No Pay means a company pays a recruitment fee only when a hire is successfully placed — there is no retainer and no charge for the search itself. At The Quantum Club it also comes with a 60-day guarantee: if a placement doesn't hold, the full fee returns as credit toward the replacement.

The model in plain terms

You define the role; the recruiter runs the search at their own risk. You pay a placement fee only when an exceptional hire signs — never for the search itself. This flips the traditional retained model, where fees are billed whether or not a hire lands. At The Quantum Club the success fee is 20–25% of first-year compensation, with nothing upfront.

The guarantee

At The Quantum Club, if a placement doesn't hold for 60 days, the full fee returns as credit toward the replacement search. The risk stays with the club, not the partner — which is only sustainable when the shortlist is genuinely pre-qualified.

How a search runs

After the brief, ClubAI scores fit across the club's vetted network and a dedicated strategist hand-curates a tight slate of pre-qualified candidates — many of whom never touch the open market. You meet a short list, and place risk-free. A partner strategist replies within 24 hours to scope the search, in confidence.
