Fees, guarantee, speed, screening.
What does it cost?
Market rates, and the structure flexes with the search. Fully contingent, which costs nothing unless you hire. Retained for leadership roles. A blend for volume. It depends on how many roles you have and how much of the recruiting you want us to carry, and we agree the structure on the call, before any search starts.
What if the hire doesn't work out?
Every candidate hired through Traverse comes with a guarantee. We stand by it, and we walk you through the terms on the call.
How fast will we see people?
The search starts right after the call, and bringing your time to hire down is the first job. You get two or three vetted profiles that fit the role, the shift and the certifications, not a stack of resumes. On the call we'll tell you what the market looks like for your role in your area.
How do you screen?
By specialty. HACCP, SQF and 433A on a plant floor; quota and attainment in sales; shipped work in AI; CPA status and close cycles in finance. We also reach the candidates who are not applying to postings or sitting on LinkedIn, and every profile is pre-screened to your specifications before you see it.
Hiring in ai and data? Get a guide for the exact role and city.
Title, city, one business day. What they are paid, where the people come from, who else is hiring them, and how to fill the seat. Written for your role by a recruiter, not pulled off a shelf.
Tell us about the ai and data role.
A recruiter who places ai and data roles reads it the same day.
Building the AI team and tired of keyword resumes?
Tell us what has to ship. Pick a time and we will talk through the stack, the level and the engineers and scientists who have delivered it before.
Every candidate hired through Traverse comes with a guarantee.
