If you're running a business on EOS (The Entrepreneurial Operating System), you're probably familiar with the Visionary–Integrator concept. If you’re the Visionary, then your role is driving ideas, casting the future, creating momentum. But if you don’t have the right Integrator alongside you, things can stall. Fast.
That’s where hiring an Integrator becomes essential. One of the most common questions we hear from EOS-run companies is: how much does it actually cost to hire an Integrator the right way? At The Metiss Group, we have guaranteed best-in-industry Integrator selection services.
Let’s walk through the numbers, what’s included, how The Metiss Group compares to other options, and what kind of time (and results) you can expect.
The investment for The Visionary-Integrator Catalyst™ is around $35,000.
This is a flat, transparent fee that covers the entire process from role definition to long-term support after the hire is made. Unlike traditional recruiters who often charge a percentage of the candidate’s annual salary, The Metiss Group keeps pricing simple and predictable — no hidden fees or add-ons. Nothing will drive the cost down, but nothing will drive it up, either.
The $35,000 investment includes everything needed to set your Visionary–Integrator partnership up for long-term success — not just to fill a seat.
We start by helping the Visionary define their own role clearly. Then, using that foundation, we develop an Integrator scorecard tailored to the business’s needs and leadership style. This ensures both leaders are aligned and focused on their highest-value activities.
Both the Visionary and Integrator complete multiscience behavioral assessments to gain insight into work style, communication tendencies, and potential friction points. These insights are mapped in a side-by-side comparison to establish shared language, deeper understanding, and mutual trust from the beginning.
After the hire is made, The Metiss Group provides structured coaching and support throughout the first year. This includes:
This extended support is designed to strengthen the relationship and improve long-term retention.
When comparing costs across the market, it’s helpful to know how pricing typically works elsewhere:
Many firms charge 20–30% of the Integrator’s total annual compensation. So for a $240,000 hire, you could be paying $48,000 to $72,000 just for placement. And that service typically ends once the hire is made.
Hiring internally without guidance might save money upfront, but comes with a higher risk of misalignment, failed placement, or lack of long-term traction. Most unsuccessful Visionary–Integrator pairings don’t fail due to skill gaps—they fail due to miscommunication and unclear expectations.
The Visionary-Integrator Catalyst™ includes not only the hiring process but also a 12-month accountability system to ensure the pairing works long after the contract is signed. It’s a rare blend of recruiting, behavioral science, and executive coaching — bundled into a single flat fee.
Time is one of the most valuable resources for any leader. Here’s what you can expect in terms of time commitment:
Most of the process is designed to maximize clarity and decision-making while minimizing wasted time.
Yes. When the full Visionary-Integrator Catalyst™ process is followed, The Metiss Group guarantees the Integrator will be in place after one year — or we’ll repeat the process at no additional charge.
This commitment is backed by real results. 90% of the Integrators we’ve placed through this process are still in their roles after a year, compared to an industry average of around 66%.
Hiring an Integrator is a significant decision, not just financially, but for the long-term health and scalability of your company. The Visionary–Integrator dynamic can be your biggest asset or your biggest frustration.
With The Metiss Group, you're not just hiring a role. You're investing in a system that supports your leadership team, sharpens your business operations, and builds a sustainable partnership designed to last.
