Present.
We deliver three to five qualified candidates and a market report summarizing how your company is viewed in the market, how your compensation package compares, and any intel on your competitors.

Onboard.
We stay in touch with you and the candidate through the onboarding process, to make sure all goes smoothly and you’re happy with your hire.
We work on an engaged search model, which means we charge an initial fee to deliver qualified candidates.
When the candidate accepts your offer, we deduct the engagement fee from the final placement fee.
