How our search works

In a market this hot, speed of process decides the hire. We hold interview slots on your calendar before the first slate goes out and push for feedback inside 48 hours, because candidates here routinely hold two offers.

Time to shortlist

Often under two weeks on field-leadership and technician roles, because we keep a live Phoenix bench. Fab-experienced superintendents are the exception; that background is rare in the state and those searches take 90 to 150 days.

Fee

Most searches run on contingency — you pay only when a hire starts — and every placement carries a 90-day replacement guarantee; retained fees apply only to confidential or executive searches.
