When you express interest in a candidate, we will first ask them for their approval to submit their information to you. Should you hire the candidate we present to you, within 12 months of us sending you their resume, you will owe us 18% of their first year’s compensation versus the industry standard of 30%. The 18% rate DOES NOT apply to those included here that are looking for CONTRACT work; the hourly rate listed is the billable rate and includes all burdens.
