Answers to the most common questions we receive from employers about our process, services, and support.
What’s your typical time-to-fill?

We conduct a multi-step evaluation, including technical assessments, behavioral interviews, cultural fit reviews, and reference checks when applicable. We only submit candidates we’d confidently hire ourselves.
How are your rates structured?
Our pricing depends on role type, duration, and complexity. We provide clear, upfront quotes with no hidden fees and can tailor pricing to your project needs.
