Lynn Monaghan
Founder, NextLevel
Recruiting isn't just what I do.
It's who I am.
With over 20 years of experience building sales and GTM teams for high-growth software and cybersecurity companies, I’ve learned one truth: great hiring changes everything.
I’ve led global recruiting teams. I’ve hired top performers at warp speed. And I’ve done it all while building trust, creating process, and delivering results. I don’t just “fill roles”—I act as a strategic partner to the businesses I support.
I started NextLevel because I knew there was a better way. A smarter way. A faster, more human way to find top talent—without wasting time or sacrificing quality. My approach is built on speed, clarity, and personal connection. Clients tell me they’ve never seen recruiting done like this before.
If you’re ready to build a team of A-players, I’m ready to make it happen.

FAQs
Common Questions Answered.
Q: Do you have a guarantee period for candidates? Yes! For all contingent searches, we guarantee a candidate will stay for at least 30 days. If they leave during that time, we’ll replace them—at no extra cost.
Q: What makes you different from other agencies? We bring the reach of an agency with the care of an in-house recruiter. Our AI-driven sourcing and personalized approach ensure a high-touch experience tailored to your exact needs—giving you the best of both worlds.
Q: How long does it take to fill a role? Every company moves at a different pace—some have packed schedules, multiple decision-makers, or background checks that extend the process. While hiring timelines aren’t one-size-fits-all, our average time to fill is 35-45 days, depending on the role and process. We start with a quick 30-minute intake call to understand your needs, then typically submit candidates within 48 hours—making sure we bring you the right people, not just the first available ones
Q: What is your pricing structure for contingent searches? Our fees are success-based and calculated as a percentage of the hire’s first-year salary. You only pay once we find the right hire, ensuring a risk-free hiring process. All fees are discussed upfront before we begin.
