Check-ins with you and your hire in weeks one and two, then every four weeks for as long as they are with you. We call it hypercare. The first month is when a placement quietly fails, and a check-in is cheaper than a replacement for both of us.
Sometimes a candidate just doesn't work out for a variety of reasons. This is why we offer a zero-dollar replacement. We will re-calibrate and get you a better suited candidate immediately. Remember, you always have the last-mile interview.
This is the part of accounting where output is countable, which means performance is not a matter of opinion. Every engagement opens with a scorecard: what we measure, what good looks like against your current baseline, and how often you see it.
