MYTH #1: All recruiting agencies specialize only in contingency/temp based recruiting and will charge you 20% - 30% to fill one position.
This is by far the most common myth and the one that we have to dispel the most frequently. While 99% of staffing agencies out there work only on a contingency basis, we do things completely differently. We charge you a flat monthly fee to work on all of your openings, we pay for all the vendor relationships to get those positions filled, and we never charge you overtime for our work. So for the same price that it costs you to fill one position with a traditional contingency agency, you could be receiving a dedicated, on-site staff member from us for a month to work on all of your positions.
HOW IT WORKS
Clients that need to hire X number of people in a certain period of time call upon Thomas Executive Resources to develop a customized on-site staffing solution that meets their needs. We'll first meet with you in-person or over the phone to discuss all of the different requirements that you have -- from the number of openings that there are to length of time that it will take to fill those openings. You will also meet in advance with the designated on-site personnel that we will be sending to you to make sure that it is the right personality and culture fit.
We then put together a proposal for you that discusses at length what services you'll receive, what the monthly fee will be, etc. Once you are satisfied with all of the parameters of the proposal, as well as the on-site personnel that we will be providing to you, a contract is put into place outlining all of the deliverables that Thomas must meet and under what conditions. After the contract is signed, we then start working on-site at your company, filling all of the positions. During this time that we're on-site at your company, we pay for all job postings, resume subscription services, and background checks. You also will get access to the world-class applicant tracking system, Peopleclick. In addition to the on-site personnel that is working at your company, you will also have access to an in-house Client Services Director from Thomas that will send you weekly updates as to the status of your positions and help resolve any issues that may come up.
Finally, if for any reason, we don't meet the deliverables during the specified time set forth in the contract, WE WILL REFUND A PRORATED AMOUNT OF THE MONTHLY FEE BACK TO YOU!!!
