Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you charge an upfront fee?

Because we are not contingency recruiters — we are strategic hiring advisors.

Before we recruit, we invest time into understanding your firm, your culture, the role, compensation, leadership expectations, and what success actually looks like so we can attract and secure the right fit.

The upfront fee allows us to dedicate the resources, strategy, and recruiting effort needed to hire intentionally — not reactively.

Is it really flat fee — no hidden costs for background checks, etc.?

Yes. Our recruiting fee is truly a flat fee.

No percentage-of-salary commissions.
No surprise recruiting charges.
No hidden fees.

If you request optional third-party services like background checks, assessments, or drug testing, those costs would always be discussed and approved in advance.

How is your recruiting model different from traditional recruiters?

We’re not commission-based—we’re outcome-based.

  • Traditional recruiters are incentivized to place fast, not necessarily right
  • We operate on a flat-fee model with milestone payments
  • We stay involved through onboarding, KPIs, and retention
  • If it doesn’t work—we replace, not disappear

Result: You don’t just get a hire—you get a system that works long-term.

 

Can you help define the role if we’re unsure what we need?

Yes. Most firms come in unclear. We diagnose bottlenecks and recommend the *right role first* (not just the role you asked for).

What exactly do you handle in the hiring process?

Everything—end to end.

We handle:

  • Job description + positioning
  • Active sourcing (not just job boards)
  • Phone + video vetting
  • Culture matching
  • Background checks + assessments
  • Offer creation
  • 90- & 180-Day Onboarding + KPI setup

You only meet qualified, culture-aligned candidates—not a stack of resumes

 

Do you hire US-based or overseas talent?

Both—and we guide you on what’s best.

  • US hires: Best for leadership roles (COO, Attorneys, Paralegals)
  • Overseas hires: Best for scalability (Intake, Marketing, Admin)

Many firms use a hybrid model:

  • Leadership = US
  • Execution = Overseas

This gives you top talent + cost efficiency

 

Do you help with training and onboarding?

Yes—and this is where most firms fail without us.

We provide:

  • 30 / 60 / 90 / 180-day success plans
  • KPI tracking systems
  • Weekly accountability structures
  • Coaching + onboarding programs

We don’t just place top legal talent—we help you build employees who succeed long-term.

How do you ensure ROI on hiring?

We tie hiring to:

– Revenue targets
– Conversion improvements
– Time saved

We don’t hire just to fill seats. We hire to improve performance, profitability, and growth.

What happens if the hire doesn’t work out?

We fix it—fast.

If they leave or are let go:

  • We pause the process
  • We find a replacement

Payments are tied to:

  • Start date
  • 90-day success
  • 6-month retention

We only win when the hire actually sticks.
