Recruiters play a vital role in connecting employers with the right candidates. They manage the entire hiring process, from identifying potential candidates to conducting interviews and facilitating job offers.

We understand that sometimes things don’t go as planned. That’s why we offer a 90-day guarantee. If a candidate hired through our services is terminated for cause or resigns within 90 days of their start date, we will replace the candidate at no additional charge.

Our fee is in alignment with industry standards and is a percentage of the candidate’s first-year base salary covering a comprehensive range of services, including candidate recruiting (tools and technologies), screening, and interview coordination. You receive a dedicated recruiter committed to finding the best talent for your organization.

No, our placement fee is based solely on the final base salary negotiated and does not include commission or bonus.

Our commitment is to work tirelessly until we find the right match for your needs. If we are unable to find a suitable candidate, we will reassess and adjust our approach to ensure your satisfaction.

We advise against working with multiple search firms simultaneously. This can create confusion for candidates and may negatively impact your organization’s brand. Our focused approach ensures a more cohesive, consistent and effective search process.

While timelines can vary, our target is to place a candidate within 45 days after the intake process is completed. Typically, the new employee will start within 60 days, ensuring a swift and efficient hiring process. Timelines are dependent on position, location, and client’s readiness.

Our team consists of highly experienced recruiters across various industries. We strive to assign a dedicated recruiter to each client who has relevant industry experience, allowing for a deeper understanding of your business and culture. This approach ensures a more tailored and effective recruiting process, unlike many of our competitors who may assign you whoever is available at the moment.

Notably, 80% of our recruiters hold Senior Recruiter positions with over 7 years of experience in the field.

Using a recruiter can save you significant time and resources. Our experienced recruiters have extensive networks and deep industry knowledge, allowing them to identify and attract top talent quickly. This ensures that you get highly qualified candidates who fit your specific needs and company culture.
