How Pay-As-You-Go Works

4 Easy Steps:

Step 01

Get your Instant Pricing Estimate (30 seconds)

Tell us the role—no job description required. We’ll show your estimated recruiting hours and a guaranteed cap before we start.

Step 02

Complete Kickoff Meeting

Meet your Dedicated Recruiting Manager to confirm your scorecard, compensation, constraints, and interview steps. Your 21-Day Recruiting Sprint starts 24 hours after Kickoff completion.

Step 03

Start Risk-free (First Position Only)

We source and screen candidates and deliver one qualified candidate submission to your dashboard. Your first candidate submission is free (up to 5 recruiting hours, including scheduling) for your first position only. Additional candidates require Pay-As-You-Go.

Step 04

Continue Pay-As-You-Go

After your free submission is delivered, activate Pay-As-You-Go to receive additional candidate submissions. We guarantee not to exceed your Instant Pricing Estimate.

*If you change the role or expand scope, we’ll generate a new estimate before continuing.

What does “guaranteed cap” mean?

Your Instant Pricing Estimate is a cap—we guarantee we will not exceed it. If the role changes or you expand scope, we’ll provide a new estimate before continuing.

Not for your first free submission on your first position. A payment method is required to activate Pay-As-You-Go (additional candidate submissions and ongoing recruiting support) and for future positions.

One qualified candidate submission delivered to your dashboard, including up to 5 recruiting hours and interview coordination/scheduling. This one-time offer applies to your first position only; additional services such as offer support, reference checks, background checks, and onboarding paperwork are available via Pay-As-You-Go.

After your free submission is delivered, activate Pay-As-You-Go to receive additional candidate submissions and extend your support (offers, reference checks, background checks, and onboarding paperwork).
