Questions

Hiring managers ask us about timelines, pricing models, and how we source candidates for hard-to-fill operational roles. Below are answers to the questions we hear most often during discovery calls.

How quickly can you present qualified candidates?

With AI-driven sourcing, most clients see their first high-match profiles in 3 to 5 business days. Deep passive headhunting typically takes 5 to 7 business days, and average time to fill is 14 to 21 calendar days, depending on role complexity and market conditions.

What industries do you recruit for most often?

We focus on healthcare, transportation and logistics, manufacturing and warehousing, construction and skilled trades, and administrative finance roles where generalist firms struggle to deliver quality.

Do you offer temporary or contract staffing services?

Our focus is direct-hire placement. If you need contract or temporary support, ask about it on your discovery call and we will tell you what we can do.

How does your pricing structure work for searches?

We offer contingent search, flat-fee recruiting, and retained search. Pricing depends on role level, urgency, and volume. We walk through options during your discovery call.

What happens if a new hire does not work out?

Every placement includes a 60-day replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves or underperforms within that window, we restart the search at no additional fee to you.
