Flat-Fee Executive Search Pricing for Life Sciences

GeneCoda® founder Don Alexander brings a unique perspective to executive recruitment, shaped by his background as a former Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®) designee. This foundation in fiduciary responsibility inspired our flat-fee pricing model, which reflects an ethical, client-first approach by eliminating conflicts of interest common in percentage-based pricing models.

Benefits of Flat-Fee Pricing:

✔ Aligned Interests: Fees are tied to the scope of work, not inflated candidate salaries.

✔ Predictable Costs: Transparent, upfront pricing eliminates surprises.

✔ Ethical Standards: Built on trust and integrity, ensuring complete transparency in every engagement.
