EDITORIAL ASSESSMENT

What stands out, and what still needs checking.

Key strengths

Clear 30% first-year-salary placement fee; pay only after hire; global recruiting; skill tests, multiple interviews, and references; two to three finalists in roughly 14 business days; compensation negotiation; six-month replacement; clean handoff.

Limitations and tradeoffs

The client owns payroll, classification, management, equipment, security, benefits, leave, and compliance after handoff; guarantee conditions, fee refundability, candidate geography, English thresholds, and post-hire support need confirmation.

Questions to confirm before signing

Request candidate location and assessment records, salary guidance, placement agreement, guarantee exclusions, classification and payroll plan, device and data controls, benefits and leave, onboarding scope, and references.
