  • What is the difference between a staffing agency and a recruiting firm?

    Staffing agencies are typically for lower-level positions and often temporary ones. A recruiting firm can recruit for positions of all levels and does not do temporary staffing. Our recruiters in Atlanta, GA focus on efficiency and accuracy when they match candidates to long-term positions.

  • What are the key factors to consider when choosing a recruiting firm?

    When you're looking for dependable recruiters in Atlanta, GA, you want a business that has a positive reputation in the community. You also want a team with experience. When picking your recruiting firm, keep these three tips in mind.


    - Choose a recruiting firm that specializes in the industry and positions you need to fill. 


    - Check the affordability and value the recruiting firm brings to you. Like anything, pricing and value vary.

  • What is a niche recruiting firm?

    A niche recruiting firm is one that specializes in both specific industries and specific positions. Our niche recruiters in Atlanta, GA can help you find the perfect fit for your position, no matter your industry.

  • How much does a recruiting firm cost?

    The price of your services depends on a few factors. Recruiting firms typically charge a percentage of the annual salary for the position you are seeking to fill. This can be from 15% up to 30% on average.

If you're looking to take the hassle out of finding the perfect candidates for your position, turn to our helpful recruiters in Atlanta, GA.

  • How long does it take for a recruiting firm to fill a position?

    This depends on the position, compensation, and more. Our average time is about 30-60 days. However, some positions fill in a couple of days to a few weeks. Usually, the lower-level positions and ones that don't require special training, education, or a license will fill the fastest.

  • Why would I hire a fractional recruiter?

    Fractional recruiters are like any other fractional position, such as a Fractional CMO or Fractional CFO. They are entrenched in the culture, needs, and goals of the organization in a more granular way. They are ideal if you need to hire various people over longer periods of time. Give our recruiters in Atlanta, GA a call today to learn more.

  • What questions should a recruiter be asking a business before they start working with them?

    Many small to mid-sized companies don't know what a recruiting firm should be asking about their organization to expeditiously and accurately find the right person. There are four questions (minimum) they must ask to be effective:



    - Can I please have the job description?


    - Tell me about your culture and who would be fit for it.


    - Who is the manager and what is that person’s management style?


    - Finally, what are the KPIs or ways in which this person will be measured, and in what time frame?


    These are the very basic questions, and there should preferably be more. If a recruiter misses any of these, they are likely not going to be able to do a great job for you. You can count on our recruiters in Atlanta, GA to ask all these key questions and more when matching candidates and positions.

  • Should a recruiting firm be responsible in some way for someone they placed leaving within the first 90 days?

    Typically, no. Commonly, people leave a job for two reasons that have nothing to do with recruiters:


    - The job was not what they were told it was going to be when they were hired. The recruiter will explain what the job entails and the expected goals and timelines. If this changes, that is not the recruiter’s fault.


    - People also leave because of issues with their managers, with communication challenges being at the top of the list. Again, this is not the fault of the recruiter.


    To learn more about job candidates and retention, call our recruiters in Atlanta, GA today.

  • How many people leave their jobs within the first 90 days due to job responsibilities, workplace problems, or manager issues?

    According to Psychology Today, 33% of employees quit their jobs within the first 90 days of employment. Find quality candidates that stick around by contacting our reliable recruiters in Atlanta, GA today!
