We combine an in-depth discovery call with our signature ‘speed-date’ cultural team meeting. This unique approach helps us experience your company culture firsthand, ensuring we represent your business authentically to every candidate.

Transparency is key, so we let you set the pace. While we’re ready to provide daily updates if you’d like, most of our clients prefer our weekly check-in meetings or our on-demand video log updates. Both options keep you fully informed without overloading your calendar.

Each company partners with a dedicated consultant who becomes fully immersed in your business and hiring needs. Your consultant will be your consistent point of contact, ensuring you never have to repeat yourself or lose momentum in the hiring process.
