Questions before we get started

An agency charges a percentage of the hire's salary, usually 20 percent or more, on the day they start. I bill hourly for the work, like a contractor on your team, W-2 or corp-to-corp, whichever fits how you bring on contractors. We agree on scope and weekly hours up front, sized to the roles. You pay for the search, not per head, so a hiring push with five roles doesn't cost five fees. Either of us can change the hours or end the engagement with one week's notice, and any candidate already in process still hears back from me.

Yes. Hourly covers the work, not a guarantee. What you get for it is visibility: candidates, progress, obstacles, and hours used, every week. If a search isn't moving, I tell you why and what has to change.

Availability gets confirmed on the first call. Once intake and systems access are done, the search starts. By the end of week two you have the first calibration candidates and a read on the market. Time to fill after that depends on the role, comp, location, and how fast your team gives feedback.

A few. I take on what I can personally run end to end, and I tell you on the first call what my availability is for your roles. If I can't give a search the hours it needs, I say so rather than take it.

Three things. Feedback within 48 hours of every interview. One person who owns the final decision. A comp range before the search opens. Everything else, including the ATS, I work inside whatever you already have, or we set up something practical in week one.

Yes. I can own an agreed set of searches, or add market mapping, sourcing, and screening to what your team is already doing. Responsibilities get set up front so nothing gets done twice.

They hear back from me, with a reason where I can give one. Your name is on that search, and the people you didn't hire still talk.

You tell me the roles, what you've tried, your timing, and where it's stuck. I tell you where I can help, what I'd need from your team, and whether contract recruiting is the right fit. If it isn't, I'll say so.

Yes. I run the engagement myself, from defining the role through sourcing, screening, interviews, and close. There is no account manager and no other recruiter behind me.

Engineering, data, cloud, infrastructure, security, and AI. Go-to-market: sales, marketing, customer success, revenue leadership. Executive and C-level. The common thread is hard-to-fill. We review the role before agreeing on the engagement.

Sometimes you should, and I will say so on the first call. A full-time recruiter makes sense when hiring is steady for years. When it's a push, a gap, or a search that needs a senior hand your team doesn't have yet, contract stands up faster, costs less, and ends when the seats are filled.

AI handles sourcing and research: finding people, enriching profiles, organizing the market. I personally review every candidate, run the screens against the agreed requirements, and decide who merits an interview. Your technical team owns deeper technical assessment.

Public candidate data and the role requirements we agree on. Your confidential information, candidate conversations, and internal documents stay out of AI tools unless you approve otherwise in writing.

Yes. Before any outreach we agree on what can be disclosed, who has access, and when the company or role can be named. I work inside those limits and inside your approved systems.

In your ATS, from day one. My database, network, and tools stay mine. The agreement spells out both.

Yes, with coordination. We agree on who owns which searches, check for existing candidate relationships, and document introductions so nobody gets contacted twice. Agency fees stay governed by your agreements with them.

Yes, through SureTech Recruiting. Rate, duration, and any conversion terms get agreed before the assignment starts. Details are in the contractors section above.

Résumés are coming in, but the experience and capabilities you need are missing.

Changing requirements, inconsistent feedback, or slow decisions are costing you time and candidate interest.
