The guarantee

We guarantee the hire. Not the number of applications.

A recruitment agency hands you a head and invoices 15 to 25 percent of the annual gross salary. A campaign provider hands you applications and measures itself by their volume. We measure ourselves by the filled role: if a committed position stays open, we re-fill it – at no further cost to you.

Before any contract there is the feasibility check: it tells you in advance whether your role can be filled in your catchment area. If it comes back negative, we decline – that is the cheaper outcome for both of us.

How the system works
Feasibility check

One company per area. See if yours is still open.

A field service technician hired in fourteen days. A machining company with three candidates for two roles in the first month. No magic pill – a system that stays in the company afterwards. The feasibility check tells you whether your role can be filled in your catchment area. If it cannot, we decline before you spend a cent. One company per field and area.

What happens on the first call

  1. We run the numbers on your catchment area: how many suitable skilled workers are within range and whether your role can be filled there.
  2. You see the filled cases with role, company size and time to hire – and you may question every figure.
  3. You learn what the build costs in your case. Including when we advise against it.
