Straight Answers

Before you apply.

Does this cost me anything?

No, and it never has. The employer pays our fee. If any recruiter anywhere asks you for money to get a job, walk away.

Is this temp work?

No. Every role here is direct hire: you're on the employer's own payroll from your first day. We're not a temp agency, and we never become your employer.

Will my current employer find out?

Not from us. We don't send your resume anywhere without telling you which company and getting your okay first.

What if none of these fit?

Send a resume anyway. Some of what we fill never gets posted, and we work from the pipeline when a client calls.
