What do owners ask before a search?
What does it cost?
No upfront fee. You pay only if you hire. Fee terms are set out in the signed agreement. The full explanation is on our fees page.
How long until I see a short list?
Timing depends on the job, location, pay and available candidates. We discuss that with you before the search and keep you updated.
What about counteroffers?
We ask why each candidate might move and what could make them stay. If a counteroffer comes up, we talk it through and keep you informed.
Can you find people who travel or need per diem?
Yes. Tell us the travel, lodging, per diem and time-off arrangements so we can explain them to candidates.
Do you check licenses?
We check relevant licenses where the job requires them and discuss the person's recent work. Your team decides whether the person is right for the job.
What if the hire does not work out?
We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.
What do you not do?
We do not bill by the hour, we do not take retainers unless agreed in writing, we do not repost your job on job boards, and we are not a same-day labor hall. We do not run drug, MVR or background checks; your company handles any the role requires.
