A bad hire is never just one wage. It is the weeks a recruiter spent screening, the manager hours spent onboarding, the productivity gap while the role sat wrong, and then doing the entire search again. Our fee is priced against that number, not against the resume.
We shortlist a small number of candidates who actually fit, not a stack of resumes for you to sort through.
Placement types, priced plainly: Temporary coverage - Hourly bill rate, no separate placement fee. We payroll and insure the worker for the full length of the assignment - workers compensation, unemployment insurance and withholding are ours to carry, not yours.
Temp-to-hire - Hourly bill rate, plus a conversion fee if you hire the person on. A trial period with no long-term commitment. If it works, the conversion fee is a fraction of what direct placement would have cost.
Direct placement - 15-25% of first-year salary, depending on the role. For roles you know you want to hire permanently and directly. Published as a range because a specialized accounting search and an entry-level admin search are not the same amount of work.
A replacement guarantee: If a direct or temp-to-hire placement does not work out within 90 days, we replace the candidate at no additional fee. We would rather do the search again than have you pay twice for the same seat.
Screening that is actually done: Skills assessment - Role-specific testing before a candidate is ever shortlisted, not a self-reported checkbox on an application.
Reference checks - Two prior supervisors contacted directly, every time, for every candidate we send.
Background and right-to-work verification - Completed before a resume reaches you, not after an offer is made.
A shortlist, not a stack - Three to five candidates per role, typically, so your time goes to deciding rather than sorting.
Who carries what, on a temporary placement: On any temporary or temp-to-hire assignment, the worker is legally employed by us. We run payroll, carry workers compensation and unemployment insurance, and handle tax withholding. That coverage is a large part of what the bill rate buys - you get the labor without carrying the employment risk.
