Our recruiting focus

A more considered way
to build your team.

We focus on job-related experience, transferable strengths, and the practical demands of each position, rather than relying on titles alone.

Operations & leadership

Operational supervisors, managers, team leaders, and process-improvement professionals.

02 / LOGISTICS

Logistics & planning

Distribution leadership, workflow coordination, workforce planning, and supply-chain support.

03 / PEOPLE

Human resources

HR coordinators, generalists, recruiting coordinators, and people-operations support.

Our approach

From role clarity
to candidate introductions.

01

Understand

We clarify responsibilities, compensation, workplace requirements, and success measures.

02

Search

We source candidates using role-relevant experience and transferable skills.

03

Screen

We discuss qualifications and obtain permission before sharing a candidate profile.

04

Coordinate

We support introductions and communication while the employer makes the hiring decision.

Employer-first partnership

A straightforward
contingency model.

Our proposed introductory structure aligns recruiting fees with a completed direct hire. No employer placement fee is charged simply because you review or interview a referred candidate.

A formal employer agreement sets the final fee, candidate introduction rules, invoice terms, and replacement-search conditions before recruiting begins.

PROPOSED INTRODUCTORY FEE

18% of first-year base salary

Due only when your company hires a candidate we introduced, under a signed direct-hire recruiting agreement. Subject to written approval and final terms.

Common questions

Before we begin.

Does Career Refined hire or pay the employee?

No. In a direct-hire placement, your company employs and pays the person. Career Refined provides recruiting support and is not the employer of record.

Do candidates have to buy résumé services?

No. Candidates do not pay placement fees and are never required to purchase Career Refined résumé or coaching services to be considered for a role.

Are temporary placements available?

Not at launch. We are beginning with employer-paid direct-hire recruiting and may consider temporary staffing as a later, separately developed service.

Is the placement fee payable before the hire?

No, under the proposed introductory contingency model, a fee is earned upon a successful candidate start. All terms are confirmed in the signed employer agreement.
