FAQs
-
Our Talent Matchmaker is a curated matching service that helps beauty brands find experienced and vetted independent operators.
You tell us what expertise you need, and we tap into our community to identify the operators whose experience most closely aligns with your brief.
-
The Talent Matchmaker is for beauty founders and brand leaders who know where their business needs support but don’t know the right person to call.
We work with brands at every stage, from pre-launch to established and legacy brands.
-
First, submit a brief telling us what expertise, experience, and working arrangement you’re looking for.
We’ll review your brief, tap into our community of vetted independent operators, and send anonymized profiles of the strongest potential matches. You decide who—if anyone—you’d like to meet, and we make the warm introduction for a flat fee.
-
No, a perfect job description isn’t required. But you should know what area of the business needs support, what you want this person to accomplish, and which experience genuinely matters.
While we can definitely help you find the person, we do not help with identifying business needs.
-
Submitting a brief costs $50. If you decide to meet one or all of the experts we share, the matching fee is $500.
-
All of the experts in our consultant community are reviewed for the depth of their industry experience, area of expertise, previous work, character, and fit for the specific brief before presenting them as a potential match.
Every candidate is someone we know, trust, and would feel genuinely good about introducing you to.
-
We provide up to three anonymous profiles to review for each brief. Sometimes we may find several strong options; sometimes one person is the clear fit.
We prioritize alignment over volume, and strongly believe one well-aligned introduction can be more valuable than ten random profiles.
-
Yes. We share anonymized profiles first so you can review each person’s relevant experience before deciding whether you’d like to meet them.
You only pay the matching fee if you choose to move forward with introductions.
-
From there, the relationship is yours. You and the operator connect directly to discuss fit, scope, timing, rates, and next steps.
If you decide to work together, you’ll manage the contract and engagement directly.
-
Absolutely. If you need support across several areas, submit a separate brief for each role.
Keeping each need separate helps us understand exactly what you’re looking for and find the strongest person for each piece of the business.
