Our Difference, Your Advantage
What separates us from a typical staffing agency?
As the only AEC recruitment firm offering both subscription-based and contingency recruiting models, we give you the flexibility to choose the approach that works best for your business — and the ability to switch between models as your needs evolve.
What is a subscription recruiting model?
A subscription-based recruiting model gives you the advantages of a dedicated in-house recruiter while providing the flexibility and cost-efficiency of an external partner. We offer a transparent, predictable month-to-month rate which gives you consistent access to qualified professionals without unexpected fees.
Whether you hire one $100,000 candidate or five, your subscription pricing remains consistent throughout the year. There are no surprises, no additional fees, and no pressure to fill roles hastily. This model gives you the flexibility you need to build your team strategically while keeping costs predictable and manageable.
This model is ideal for companies looking to scale and hire multiple team members throughout the year without unpredictable fees or per-hire costs.
What is a contingency recruiting model?
A contingency recruiting model is a performance-based approach to hiring where you only pay a fee if and when you successfully hire a candidate presented by us. There are no upfront costs, retainers, or fees to review resumes or interview candidates, allowing you to evaluate talent completely risk-free throughout the process.
We offer a one-time fee structure and a flexible pay-as-you-go option at rates lower than our competitors, so you can choose the approach that best fits your hiring needs and budget.
This model is ideal for companies looking to make strategic hires on an as-needed basis.
