FAQs

Have a question? We’re here to help.

  • What is the fee for a Direct Hire placement?

    Our direct hire service operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay a fee if you decide to hire a candidate we present. The fee is calculated as a pre-agreed percentage (20%) of the employee's first-year salary, ensuring complete transparency from the start.

  • Do you offer a guarantee on your permanent placements?

     If a candidate you hire through us leaves or is terminated for performance reasons within a specified guarantee period (typically 30 days), we will conduct a replacement search at no additional cost.

  • How long does a typical direct hire search take?

    While the timeline varies based on the role's complexity, our goal is typically to present a shortlist of highly qualified candidates within the first few weeks. Your dedicated recruiter will establish a more precise timeline with you after the initial consultation.

  • How do you find qualified candidates that we can't find ourselves?

    We find unique candidates by going beyond public job boards. Our recruiters proactively source "passive candidates"—top professionals who aren't actively looking but are open to the right opportunity. We leverage our deep network, built over years in the Iowa City area, to find talent you wouldn't otherwise reach.

  • What is our role as the client during the search process?

    Your primary role is to provide detailed insights during our initial consultation and then to interview the small group of top-tier finalists we present. We handle all the time-consuming sourcing, screening, and scheduling, allowing you to stay focused on your core responsibilities.

  • Why should we use Sedona Staffing instead of just posting the job ourselves?

    The primary reasons are saving time and gaining access to better talent. Instead of you sorting through hundreds of unqualified resumes, we deliver a handful of candidates who are pre-vetted for the skills, experience, and culture fit you need. This dramatically speeds up the process and improves the quality of your hire.
