• We're SOC 2 Type II and ISO certified. We follow disciplined, independently audited processes to protect the information you and your candidates trust us with.
• We work as an extension of your team. Think of us as your external HR department, supporting you from role design through hiring and beyond. We don't stop searching until you're happy with your new hire.
• We're consultative. We share what we're hearing from candidates along with the latest trends in your industry.
• We adapt to how you hire. Whether you need a permanent employee or contract and temporary support, we can help. We can also convert contract staff to permanent roles and handle payroll when you need it.

• We put our whole team behind you. You also get access to our network of more than 1,000,000 candidates. Many of our placements come through referrals, because good people tend to know good people.
• We look beyond the resumé. We look for the qualities that make each candidate stand out for your role, then present only our top choices with a clear explanation of why we chose them.
• We validate candidates before you hire. See below.
• We balance speed with quality. See below.
• We believe in diverse candidate slates. Representation matters at every stage of hiring, and we bring that commitment to every search.

We validate our candidates

Many candidates now use ChatGPT and other AI tools to write their resumés and cover letters, which can make it hard to tell who's the real deal. We take the time to validate skills and experience, so you can be confident each candidate is who they say they are.

• We interview every candidate face to face, either in person or over video.
• We go beyond the standard interview. We ask questions we develop with you, covering things that aren't in the job ad, to see how candidates think on their feet.
• We verify all credentials, including designations and education.
• We offer testing and screening on request, including in-depth technical and competency-based assessments.
• We run background checks when appropriate, working with a trusted third party for criminal and credit checks.
• We check references before every employment offer.
