What stands out, and what still needs checking.
Two clear engagement models; refundable deposit; pay-on-hire direct recruitment; hiring timelines; six-month direct-hire guarantee; unlimited on-demand replacements; payroll and compliance option.
Final fees and monthly rates are custom; direct-hire clients retain compliance and management responsibility; vetting depth, English standards, security, countries, and guarantee exclusions need review.
Request candidate location and assessment results, full fee calculation, salary and statutory costs, guarantee terms, ownership and classification, data controls, equipment, replacement timeline, and exit support.
