Free compensation consultation
What should you pay your next leader?
Get 30 minutes with a FireSeeds recruiter who works on pay for leadership roles every week. Bring the role and the range you have in mind. Use what you learn whether you hire with us or on your own.
What we'll cover
- Base pay for the role at your size, in your industry and in your city.
- How to split the package between base, bonus and longer-term pay like profit sharing or phantom equity.
- What the people you'd want to hire are earning today, and what it takes to move them.
- Where your range sits against what those candidates will compare it to.
Who it's for
Owners and leadership teams of companies with about 40 to 400 employees, hiring a COO, general manager, director of operations, CFO or another senior leader.
Most of our calls are with construction, engineering, manufacturing, restoration and home services companies. If that's you, we'll have recent searches to compare against.

Questions about the consultation
Yes. It's 30 minutes on 1 leadership hire, at no cost, and there's no obligation to run a search with FireSeeds afterward. Some owners use it and then hire internally.
Usually not. A compensation consultant earns their fee designing pay across a whole company. For a single leadership seat, a short call with someone who sees current offers for that role every week usually answers the question.
The role, who it reports to, your headcount and location, and any range you're considering. If you have a candidate in mind, their current pay helps too.
From the searches we run for leadership roles at companies of 40 to 400 people, checked against public wage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
