Engagements
Paid search work, scoped to the request.
Every engagement starts with a free fit review. Paid work begins only after the target, search scope, and constraints are agreed. Pricing depends on difficulty, location, outreach depth, and how much filtering is required.
Fit Review
No charge
Is your request a fit for DayRove?
Submit your request. DayRove reviews it and responds with a fit determination: whether we can help, what a search would involve, and what it would cost to proceed. No payment required at this stage.
Includes
- Review of submitted request by a real person
- Fit determination: yes, no, or conditional
- Explanation of search scope and recommended approach
- Engagement recommendation if fit is confirmed
All engagements begin here. There is no way to skip the fit review.
Submit a RequestSearch Planning
Terms quoted after fit review
Clarify the target before running the full search.
If the request needs sharpening before we can run it, this is the starting point. DayRove works with you to nail down what qualifies, what does not, where we will search, and what the full search would cost.
Includes
- Target definition and constraint clarification
- Channel overview: where DayRove will search and why
- Initial market signal summary
- Scope and timeline estimate for full search work
Planning fee is credited toward search work if you proceed within 30 days.
Request TermsCore Engagement
Search Work
Terms quoted after fit review
We run the search. You get real options.
The core paid engagement. DayRove searches across the relevant channels, contacts leads where you have authorized it, filters out weak fits, and brings back the strongest options with fit notes, pricing signals, outreach status, and a recommended next move.
Includes
- Active search across all relevant channels for the request type
- Direct outreach to leads where client has authorized it
- Weak fits removed before anything reaches you
- Strongest options with fit notes and pricing signals
- Outreach status: who was contacted and what happened
- Risk flags on anything needing verification
- Recommended next move per option
- One revision pass if the initial options miss the brief
Most searches complete in 5–15 business days depending on complexity and outreach required.
Request TermsOngoing Sourcing Support
Custom — terms discussed at intake
Repeated search work without re-engaging each time.
For clients running sustained sourcing activity — multiple searches, ongoing vendor or supplier evaluation, active acquisition pipelines, or continuous deal flow monitoring. DayRove operates as a recurring search function rather than a one-off engagement.
Includes
- Recurring search work on a defined cadence
- Ongoing deal flow monitoring and new-match alerts
- Multi-target or multi-category search management
- Regular options updates and status reporting
- Priority intake response
Structured on a monthly retainer or project basis. Terms, cadence, and scope defined at intake.
Discuss TermsSuccess / Placement Fee
Case by case — where legally appropriate
Performance component where applicable and agreed.
In select engagements, DayRove may agree to a success-based fee component — triggered by a transaction, placement, or introduction that results from the sourcing work. This is negotiated at intake, governed by a written agreement, and is not available in all categories.
Includes
- Only where explicitly agreed in writing at intake
- Subject to applicable legal requirements and jurisdiction
- Not a substitute for the base engagement fee
- Terms and trigger events defined per engagement
DayRove is not a licensed broker. Success fees are not offered in categories requiring licensure unless a licensed professional is appropriately involved.
Ask About TermsHow pricing is decided
DayRove prices by scope, not by category. There is no rate card because the work varies significantly by request. Scope is agreed after the fit review — and before any paid work begins.
Request complexity
Specific, well-constrained requests search and filter faster than vague ones. Complexity drives scope.
Geography
Local searches run differently from regional or multi-state searches. Coverage area affects channel count and outreach volume.
Urgency and timeline
Compressed timelines require different resourcing than standard sprint pacing.
Channel depth
Number of channels searched and how much outreach is needed to cover them adequately.
Outreach authorization
Whether DayRove is authorized to contact candidates directly — and through which channels.
Verification and dossier complexity
Some candidates require more due diligence before inclusion. Complex dossiers with many candidates take more work.
Submit a request. DayRove will assess fit and return a scope and price before any work begins.

Common questions
Why are prices not listed?
Sourcing work varies significantly by request type, geography, urgency, and required search depth. We price by scope, not by category. Submit a request and we will tell you exactly what it costs.
What if DayRove cannot find anything?
If the search does not surface options that match the brief, we tell you directly — what was searched, why nothing fit, and what a revised target or extended search might change.
Can DayRove help with the transaction itself?
No. DayRove finds options and makes introductions. Contract negotiation, closing, legal structuring, financial advisory, and licensed brokerage are outside our scope and require separate licensed professionals.
How do I know the options are real and not made up?
Each option includes notes on where it was found, what was verified, what outreach was made, and what the response was. We do not fabricate leads or include unverified entries without flagging them.
Do I need to pay anything before DayRove starts working?
The fit review is free. Paid work begins only after scope and terms are agreed in writing. We do not start billable work before there is a clear written agreement.
