From Employers
At Prime Search Group, we use a combination of industry knowledge, professional networks, and modern sourcing tools to find and evaluate candidates. Our process includes detailed screenings, targeted interviews, and skills assessments to ensure each candidate meets both technical and cultural requirements. This method helps us provide clients with reliable and well-matched talent.
Our fees and payment structures vary depending on the type of service provided—Direct Hire, Project Hire, Contract Hire, or Payroll solutions. Typically, we offer a transparent pricing model, with fees based on a percentage of the candidate’s first-year salary for permanent placements, or an hourly rate for contract roles. We are also open to customizing our payment terms to align with specific client needs and project scopes. For more detailed information, feel free to contact us directly.
The time to fill a position depends on the role’s complexity, seniority level, and market conditions. On average, standard roles can take 1-3 weeks, while more specialized or senior positions may require 3-4 weeks. We prioritize finding the right fit over speed, ensuring quality placements that meet both skill and cultural requirements.
We offer a replacement guarantee for our permanent placements, meaning if a candidate leaves within an agreed-upon period, we will conduct a new search at no additional cost. This guarantee demonstrates our commitment to delivering quality hires and building long-term partnerships with our clients. Specific terms can be tailored based on the role and client requirements.
