The terms, in plain language
- Month-to-month
- Cancel with 30 days' notice.
- One invoice a month, on autopay
- Next month's retainer plus last month's hire fees.
- Per location
- Each location has its own retainer.
- Job ad spend
- Your agency pays the job boards directly. We don't mark it up.
- No first shift, no fee
- If a hire withdraws, fails the background check or never shows, there's no fee.
- What counts as our hire
- A hire counts when we sourced, screened or booked the candidate. That includes applicants from our ads, referrals from the referral program we run, past applicants we re-contact, and applicants from your careers page or other boards that we screen. It also includes anyone we booked who is hired within 6 months of their interview, including after you cancel.
Questions agencies ask
Who employs the caregiver?
You do, from day one. We're a recruiting service, not a staffing agency.
Are the calls disclosed?
Yes. Every call says up front that it's automated and recorded, and candidates agree to calls and texts when they apply.
We already post on Indeed. What's different?
We run more channels, including Facebook, Instagram and a referral program, reach every applicant within minutes around the clock, and book interviews for you.
What if the candidates aren't a fit?
You approve the screening questions at kickoff and give feedback on every candidate you interview. We adjust each week.
How fast can we start?
Usually within a week of signing.
Do you charge per location?
Yes. Each location has its own retainer, because each area is its own hiring market.
What if we're fully staffed for a while?
Existing clients can pause for up to three months at a reduced rate instead of canceling. Your ads, screening setup and applicant list stay ready to restart.
