## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What is the typical process for hiring a direct-hire employee through a recruitment agency?**
A: The typical direct-hire recruitment process involves six key stages. It begins with an initial consultation where the client's hiring needs, timeline, and goals are discussed. The agency then provides a formal agreement outlining the placement fee, which varies by position, and often requires a partial retainer. Upon signing and receiving the retainer, the agency sources and presents candidate resumes for review. They coordinate all interviews, including phone, video, and onsite sessions. Finally, the agency assists with the offer letter and hiring process once a candidate is selected. This structured approach ensures a managed pipeline from need identification to successful placement.

**Q: How does contractor staffing differ from direct-hire placement in terms of process and fees?**
A: Contractor staffing and direct-hire placement differ significantly in their process structure and fee models. For contractors, the process starts with a meeting to define needs, followed by a Contractor Resume Submission Agreement detailing an estimated bill rate and a retainer deposit, which is later credited against the first invoice. The agency then sources candidates and arranges interviews. Upon selection, a contract confirms start date, bill rate, and duration, with the agency typically adding a 40-45% markup to cover insurance and compliance. Invoices are due within 14 days. For direct-hire, the process involves a placement fee agreement with a partial retainer, followed by sourcing and interviewing, culminating in a one-time fee for a permanent hire, without ongoing billing.

**Q: What are the typical costs and payment terms when using a recruitment agency?**
A: The costs and payment terms for using a recruitment agency typically vary between direct-hire and contractor placements. For direct-hire positions, agencies charge a placement fee, which is a percentage of the candidate's first-year salary or a fixed amount, and this fee often requires a partial retainer paid upfront before the search begins. For contractor staffing, the agency charges a markup on the contractor's hourly or daily bill rate, typically ranging from 40% to 45% to cover employer costs like insurance, payroll, and compliance. A retainer deposit is usually required to initiate the contractor search, which is then credited against the first invoice. Contractor invoices for hours worked are commonly due within a net-14 day payment term.
