Our office is located at 625 W Adams St, Chicago, IL 60661, and it’s open to any Hirewell team member who wants a change of scenery. Use it every day, once a week, or not at all — it’s totally up to you.

If you do stop by, chances are you’ll run into a few coworkers doing the same.

Hirewell has 75 employees and is growing.

We embed directly into our clients’ hiring teams to deliver tailored, end-to-end recruiting support — from strategy to execution. That includes sourcing, interviewing, process improvement, and onboarding help.

We recruit across nearly every function and industry, including tech, HR, marketing, sales, finance, real estate, executive search, and more.

Fixed-cost RPO means predictable hiring support for a set price — no surprises. Our model delivers fast results, full-cycle support, and cost savings of 20%+ over traditional search. Clients get flexible, expert-led recruiting with pricing they can plan for.

We’re a results-driven company — but not in the outdated “make 50 calls a day” kind of way.

We define what success looks like for each role and support you in exceeding those goals. Metrics are tailored by level and experience. They’re not the whole story, but they help us identify what’s working and where support might be needed.

Your success isn’t just about placements. It’s also about client relationships, business ideas, collaboration, and how you contribute to the broader team. We think about the big picture — and we want you to, too.

All roles at Hirewell include a competitive base salary plus variable compensation. 

For recruiters, commissions start at 10% and go up to 30%. In year one, most team members earn an additional 20–30% above base. In year two, that typically increases to 30–60% — and many double (or more) their salary through commission.

For roles outside of recruiting, variable comp is tied to the success of your specific practice or team.

Our clients are primarily located throughout the U.S. and Canada, with some in the UK, EU, and Australia. We have a strong client base in the Chicago area, where we’ve been headquartered for over 20 years.

You’re never required to go onsite, but if there’s a local client you’d like to meet in person for coffee, lunch, or an event, we encourage it! Building relationships face-to-face can be a great way to strengthen connections and deepen partnerships.

It’s a team effort. Many of our clients come through referrals and inbound interest — a reflection of our senior team and long-standing reputation. We’re consistently ranked as one of the top recruiting firms in the country.

We also have a dedicated group focused on business development to keep building on that momentum.

Absolutely. Whether you’ve been here a day or a decade, everyone is encouraged to get involved.

Want to be on a show? Write an article? Share your voice on social media? We love seeing new perspectives and fresh ideas. If content is your thing, there’s always an opportunity to jump in.

We host bi-weekly content committee meetings where anyone can join. We brainstorm new topics and collaborate on articles and guest ideas.

How much you participate is totally up to you — we welcome any and all contributions!

Yes! We’ll send you everything you need — laptop, monitor, accessories — right to your door. You don’t have to lift a finger.

We’re a Google Workspace company, so we use Gmail and Google Chat for most day-to-day communication. For meetings, we use Zoom.

Yes! We help clients find talent in whatever way works best for them — that includes contract, temp, contract-to-hire, and direct-hire roles.

The service types might sound familiar, but what sets us apart is how we deliver and the strength of our client relationships.

We believe in growing from within —The majority of our leadership team has been promoted internally.

Whether you want to lead a team, explore a new specialty, or branch into one of our growing areas, we’ll give you the tools, opportunities, and support to make it happen. We’re invested in your growth, both professionally and personally.

We try to do the opposite of what you might expect from traditional staffing leadership.

In team surveys, our leaders are described as down to earth, honest, and hands-on. Many still actively recruit, so they understand the day-to-day realities and challenges. They’re here to help you succeed — and to make you an expert, too.

Everyone manages a little differently, but across the board, our managers are approachable, supportive, and trust you to do your job.

Micromanagement isn’t a thing here. And if you want to chat with Matt, our CEO? Go for it — open door policies apply from the top down.

Each practice meets 1–2 times a week, and you’ll also have a weekly 1-on-1 with your manager.

There’s also an all-company meeting every week. We aim for a balance — just enough structure to stay aligned, without overwhelming your calendar.

When we asked the team, four things stood out:

• Approachable leadership
• Supportive, collaborative culture
• Strong compensation plans
• Clear opportunities for growth

Want a second opinion? Check us out on Glassdoor — we’re proud of the feedback we’ve received.

We know DEI is never “done” — it’s about continuous listening, learning, and action.

We’re committed to building an inclusive environment where everyone feels they belong, and we continue to evolve how we approach DEI to ensure it’s meaningful and lasting.

We conduct annual performance reviews, and that’s typically when promotions and salary increases happen.

Our compensation structure is built to reward results — top performers are consistently paid at or above market, and we regularly evaluate our plans to keep it that way.

We offer multiple medical plan options through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, so you can choose the coverage that works best for you.

We’ve got you covered on several fronts:

• 401(k) through Principal, with 3% company contribution after your first year — regardless of whether you contribute
• Vision and dental insurance through BCBS.
• Life Insurance and Long-Term Disability Insurance
• And more — our goal is to support your well-being at work and beyond

Our standard hours are 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM CT, and we don’t schedule meetings outside of that window.

That said, we’re flexible. As long as you’re getting your work done and hitting your goals, you have room to adjust your day to what works best for you. Early bird? Midday workout person? Do your thing.

We offer unlimited PTO, and we really mean it. You’re encouraged to take the time you need to rest and recharge.

We also close down between Christmas and New Year’s, so you can enjoy a true break over the holidays.

Yes! We typically organize a couple of volunteer or fundraising events each year, giving team members a chance to give back and connect with the community. Participation is optional, but always encouraged.

Yes! At Hirewell, we believe the best account managers are also great recruiters — and vice versa. That’s why most of our team runs a full desk, which means recruiting, managing client relationships, and developing new business.

If you’re looking to do it all, from finding talent to growing accounts, you’ll fit right in here. We’ll give you the tools, support, and compensation structure to be successful in every aspect of the role.
