FAQs

Still have questions?

Why wouldn't I just hire a full-time recruiter?

Good question! For starters, the annual cost of a full-time experienced recruiter now exceeds $135,000, plus benefits (and good luck finding anyone good available quickly). Aside from that, you may not always have enough work to keep them busy at all times, so you’re stuck paying for time you aren’t able to utilize.

With our plans, you’ve ensured you can maintain your recruitment budget.

Is there a limit to how many requests I can have?

Once subscribed, you’re able to add as many job requests to your queue as you’d like, and they will be worked based on the package you choose.

How fast will I receive my first batch of talent?

On average, most requests are completed in just five days or less. However, more complex requests can take longer.

How do I put in a request for an open job?

Scouted offers a ton of flexibility in how you request positions to be worked. Some common ways clients request designs is directly via their ATS, Trello, Google docs or by setting up various slack channels. Basically, if it can be linked or tracked, it’s fair game.

What if I don't like the talent presented?

No worries! We’ll continue to revise the talent pool (projects) until you’re 100% satisfied.

Is there any recruiting work or skill set level you don't cover?

It’s not often we come across a role we can’t fill. That said, and as your partner, if your need is better suited for a different search partner we’ll be the first to tell you. We’re not here to win business, we’re here to win your trust!
