For job seekers
What happens after you hit submit
No black hole. Here is the actual sequence, including how long each part usually takes.
The process
From resume to offer, step by step
Send your resume
One form, one file. Tell us what you are looking for and what you are not. Both are useful.
We read it
A person, not a parser. If your background fits something we are working on, we call you within a few days. If it does not, we say so.
Intake call
We talk through your experience, target compensation, work authorization and what you actually want next. Then we tell you honestly what the market looks like for that.
Submission & interviews
We ask permission before submitting you anywhere, prepare you properly for each interview, and chase feedback so you are not left guessing.
Know your terms
Contract types, explained plainly
These terms get thrown around a lot. Here is what they actually mean for your pay and your taxes.
| Type | Who employs you | Taxes | Benefits | Typical rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| W2 contract | TechKnow Global | We withhold | Available through us | Standard |
| Corp-to-corp | Your own company | You handle | You arrange | Higher, to offset costs |
| Direct hire | The client, permanently | Client withholds | Client benefits | Annual salary |
A corp-to-corp rate looks higher because it has to cover the taxes, insurance and benefits a W2 employer would otherwise pay. Compare total value, not headline rate.
