Kara Baskett — Co-Founder
Monumental Talent is disrupting the professional search market. From our pricing structure to our truly consultative approach, you'll discover quickly that Monumental is your ideal talent partner. Typical contingency and retained search firms, and even hourly recruiters, have little incentive to make a true quality hire. Most firms are incentivized to optimize merely for speed-to-placement/payday as opposed to the long-term fit and success of their placements. At Monumental, we have structured our terms and incentives to optimize for the latter. The Monumental Method We have refined a proprietary intake process which, in collaboration with our sophisticated candidate assessment approach, allows us to identify talent who will perform as well as stick. We have structured our pricing model and billing schedule in such a way to help optimize for long-term fit. In short, we don't get our full fee unless our placements last at least a full year. At Monumental Talent, we do a deep dive to understand what an individual's potential and motivations are versus focusing exclusively on what they have done in the past, because while work experience is important, it is only part of the story. Monumental Talent focuses primarily on serving the following industries: Tech (Software & Hardware), Biotech, and Food & Beverage, including Wine & Spirits and Consumer Packaged Goods, but we are happy to consider others if you have a particular need.
