Professional Recruiting & Direct Hire FAQs
Direct hire recruiting is when a company partners with a recruiting firm to fill permanent, full-time roles. Unlike temporary or contract hiring, direct hire placements mean the candidate is hired directly onto your company’s payroll from day one.
Professional recruiters have deep industry networks, access to passive candidates, and proven search processes that help businesses hire faster and more effectively. At Versique, our recruiters have firsthand experience in the roles they now recruit for, which means they know how to identify top talent that is qualified for the roles you have and fit in with your community culture.
Timelines vary by role and practice, but most professional placements take 4–8 weeks. Our proven Talent Activation Process helps shorten the search by quickly identifying candidates who fit your business needs and culture.
We do professional recruiting across our practice areas of Finance & Accounting, Human Resources, IT Solutions, Engineering & Operations, and Marketing Solutions; we also recruit in specific industries like Banking & Financial Services, Healthcare Leadership, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), Manufacturing, Family-Owned, and Private Equity-backed companies.
Recruiting fees vary depending on the role and hiring agreement. The fees are paid by the company that is hiring, not the candidates. Most direct hire placements are based on a percentage of the hired candidate’s first-year salary, and the cost is offset by the time saved and the quality of the hire.
Professional and direct hire recruiters fill permanent positions ranging from individual contributors and managers to senior leaders, directors, and executives.
Direct hire and professional recruiters hire for long-term, permanent positions. Contract staffing, or interim solutions, are for short-term needs such as project-based, for organizational transitions, to fill in during leave, such as Minnesota Paid Leave, maternity/paternity leave, or general FMLA leave.
