For employers

How the process works

Four steps, no black box. You always know what stage the search is at and who is doing what.

The process

Brief to onboarded, in four steps

  1. Intake call

    Thirty minutes on the role, the team, the must-haves and the deal-breakers. We agree rates, timeline and the replacement terms here — in writing, before any work starts.

  2. Sourcing & screening

    We source against the real requirement, screen by phone, and verify credentials with the issuing body rather than trusting the resume.

  3. Shortlist & interviews

    A small shortlist with written notes. We coordinate scheduling, collect structured feedback and keep candidates warm between rounds.

  4. Offer & onboarding

    We manage the offer conversation, handle counter-offers, and run payroll, I-9, background checks and compliance for contract placements.

Timelines

What is realistic

We would rather lose an engagement than win it on a number we cannot hit.

Typical time to first shortlist by role type
Role typeFirst shortlistTypical time to start
Mainstream IT (React, Java, .NET, QA)72 hours2–4 weeks
Finance & accounting72 hours2–4 weeks

Vendor onboarding and MSA review are usually the slowest part of a first engagement — not the recruiting. Send paperwork early.
