02Common questions
Direct-hire recruitment, answered.
When is the fee due?
On the candidate's first working day. You can split it 50% on acceptance and 50% on start, or pay 100% on start at a slightly higher rate.
Do you stay involved after they join?
No. The person becomes your employee and we step out, apart from honouring the replacement guarantee.
How quickly can we start?
Most teams see an interview-ready shortlist within 48 hours to 3–5 business days, and finalise a hire within one to two weeks. The pace mostly comes down to how quickly you can review profiles and run interviews.
What does it cost?
Dedicated talent starts from $1,499/month per hire and scales with seniority and whether the role is part-time or full-time. Direct-hire placement is a one-time fee from 15% of first-year salary. Both are quoted in writing before you commit, with no upfront cost and no setup fee.
What if the hire is not right?
Dedicated hires carry a two-week risk-free trial and a free replacement within 90 days. Direct-hire placements carry a replacement window of 60 to 180 days depending on seniority. The full terms are on our Refund Policy page.
