FAQ
How does pricing work?

Most engagements are month-to-month retainers: crisis or interim coverage runs $15K–$25K/month, fractional GR $5K–$12K/month, and session-surge projects $20K–$75K. Direct-hire placements are 25–30% of first-year base salary. Compliance management is included in every engagement.

Is there a fee to join the bench as a professional?

No. Joining the bench is free for professionals. Capitol Bench is compensated by the organizations that retain talent, never by the professionals on the bench.

How fast can coverage start?

Most engagements are covered in weeks rather than the six months a permanent executive search takes, because we match from a vetted bench rather than recruiting from scratch.

Do you handle lobbying compliance?

Yes. Registration, disclosure, and cooling-off period management are built into every placement - federal LDA and Texas Ethics Commission.
