Frequently asked questions

Your most common questions about working with us, answered here.

There isn't a limit to one industry because we specialize in finding exceptional technical talent. Whether it's AI, fintech, healthtech, SaaS, or something niche, we partner with companies that value high-quality engineering and need trusted support to scale.

The focus is on roles, not verticals, so if you need strong software engineers, we can help, no matter the domain.

Successful partnerships are built on alignment and speed. Here’s what helps us deliver the best results:

  • Timely feedback: The market moves fast. Even passive candidates are in high demand, so quick responses keep momentum strong.

  • Clarity on the role: The more specific you are about what success looks like (skills, outcomes, expectations), the better we can target the right people.

  • Open communication: As we learn more from the market, we may uncover insights that affect the search. Being available for quick check-ins helps us stay sharp and adaptable.

We tailor our fees based on the position, seniority, and number of hires. No bloated pricing or rigid tiers.

We also work with early-stage startups and smaller teams to find terms that make sense and deliver value.

If you're building a team with limited internal resources, we’ll structure a plan that works for your stage.

We’re big on clear, consistent communication and we’ll always meet you where you are.

Most clients prefer email, mobile, text, or LinkedIn, but we’re happy to use whatever works best for your workflow. Just let us know your preferred channel, and we’ll adapt.

Speed depends on role complexity, comp alignment, and interview responsivenes, but the goal is always the same: get you strong candidates without wasting time.

We approach reference checks thoughtfully and in compliance with company policies and local laws. While some employers restrict references to employment verification only, we typically request a mix of direct manager and peer contacts from the candidate's work history.

When possible, we obtain written or verbal references.
Most clients choose to handle their own formal background checks, but we’re happy to assist if needed.

For state-by-state guidelines, we recommend reviewing State Laws on References and Statements By Former Employers.

The short legal answer is no unless we have written permission from the candidate.

Many states and local jurisdictions have banned asking salary information to prevent discriminatory intent and to comply with the Equal Pay Act.

If a candidate wishes to disclose that information and share it, then we can provide it for you.

We are able to get what range they are expecting and compare with the experience, research, and data.

In addition, it’s important to know what other benefits they are currently receiving in order to have our clients submit fair offers that are accepted.

Even with thorough vetting, the occasional mismatch can happen and rare.

That’s why our guarantee is in place, so if a hire doesn’t stick, we’ll find a replacement quickly and at no additional fee.

You’re never left hanging.

We recruit nationwide therefore location isn’t a barrier.

Whether you're hiring remote, hybrid, or onsite in a specific city, we’ll find qualified candidates that match your needs.

Yes. Getting the scope right is often the fastest path to a successful hire. We’ll help you clarify outcomes, level, and must-haves.
