The PAYS Difference

Everything you keep — nothing we take.

A network designed around the way seasoned executives actually want to work.

Keep 100%

You negotiate terms directly with the business. PAYS never takes a cut of your engagement.

Work Flexibly

Advisory, project-based, fractional or interim — take on the engagements that fit your bandwidth.

Right-Fit Matches

We introduce you to businesses in your industry and discipline, so every conversation counts.

Vetted Company

Join a bench of proven, professionally-vetted leaders — a network that reflects well on you.

Local Roots

Deep ties across Greater Cincinnati, Dayton and Northern KY — real relationships, not cold leads.

Community

Podcasts, events and Pickle For A Purpose — connect with peers and give back together.

How It Works

From application to engagement.

Three simple steps to start taking on the right work.

1

Apply & get vetted

2

Get matched

When a business needs your discipline, we introduce you directly — no recruiter in between.

3

Deliver on your terms

Negotiate the engagement yourself and get to work. You stay in control from day one.
