How long does it take you to fill a position?
It takes us 10-14 business days to carefully pick and check candidates before you meet them for a final interview.

What does zero-risk hiring mean?
Only pay when you find and hire your perfect candidate, with our 6-month talent guarantee ensuring your complete satisfaction.

How does your pricing work?
Our pricing is very simple: 25% of the candidate’s assumed first-year salary.
For example, if a candidate is hired at $800 per month = $9,600 per year, our one-time fee is $2,400. There are no monthly fees.
Do your hires work in US or EU timezones?
100%. Our candidates match your local team’s hours, whether that’s EST, PST, CET, or others.
They’re eager to join growing companies for better opportunities and pay, even if it means adjusting their schedules.
