Most firms don't publish what they charge or what happens if a hire doesn't work out. 123RFP puts what they do publish in one place, with the source, so you can compare before the first call.
Every quarter we read the public websites of U.S. direct-hire recruiting firms and record what each firm states about its fees, guarantees and terms, with the exact sentence and the page it came from.
We don’t rank firms, take payment for placement, or decide which firm is best for you. A firm that publishes nothing isn’t a bad firm. It just hasn’t told you its terms yet.
Recruiting fees often run to a quarter of a first-year salary, and guarantees vary from 30 days to two years. Knowing the terms before the first call saves time on both sides.
If we missed or misread something on your site, point us to the page and we’ll pick it up in the next quarterly check.
