Free Trial Period

Every permanent placement begins with our free trial period, which is unconditional with no catches or hidden costs. For local placements, the permanent fee you pay is further protected by a 30 day free replacement period.

We provide employers with a number of options as they approach the conclusion of their free trial period.

Options include:

  • For local placements: provided all parties are satisfied with the relationship, the employer may pay the entire fee and take comfort in knowing that their fee is protected by our 30 day unconditional free replacement guarantee.
  • For local, national and international placements: if the employer is still not convinced upon the completion of the trial and needs additional time, they may choose to continue the employment relationship and revert to our temporary placement terms. This alleviates the need to pay the full permanent fee on or before the last day of the trial period.
  • For local, national and international placements: the employer may terminate the employment relationship prior to the completion of the free trial period with no obligation to pay a fee.

Temporary Placement Fee Schedule

    30% of the employee’s total gross earnings for each and every assignment
