TOWSON, MD — HRx Consulting, LLC, a leading boutique HR advisory firm, today announced the formal launch of HRx Search, a specialized recruitment division designed to bridge the gap between high-level HR strategy and executive talent acquisition.

Leveraging 25 years of professional human resources experience, HRx Search introduces a “Practitioner-Led” vetting model. Unlike traditional recruitment agencies that rely on keyword-matching software, HRx Search subjects every candidate to a rigorous 45-point technical audit conducted by a veteran HR leader.

“I’ve spent two decades building HR infrastructures for growth-stage companies. I’ve seen firsthand how a lack of technical mastery in areas like ADP optimization or Radford data literacy can stall an organization’s momentum,” said Karen Haslbeck, Principal of HRx Consulting. “I launched HRx Search to offer CEOs a partner who doesn’t just fill a seat, but architects the role and finds the person capable of leading it—all without the excessive overhead of a traditional agency.”

A cornerstone of the HRx Search rollout is its disruptive pricing structure. By operating as a lean, consultant-led boutique, the firm offers a flat 15% contingent fee on all HR placements, significantly lower than the industry standard of 20-25%.

The initiative specifically targets the Life Sciences, Biotechnology, and Technology sectors, where technical HR competency is critical for scaling in 2026. Every search includes real- time market intelligence and a 90-day practitioner guarantee.
