How It Works

What Is Direct Hire Staffing?

Direct Hire is a permanent recruitment solution designed for professional, management, leadership and specialized positions. ABL acts as an extension of your hiring team, managing the most time-intensive parts of recruitment while your organization retains the final hiring decision.

We begin by developing a clear understanding of the position, business goals, required qualifications, compensation, workplace culture and measures of success. ABL then conducts a targeted attraction campaign, reviews and screens applicants, interviews potential matches and presents qualified candidates with a resume and candidate profile. We coordinate next-stage interviews and support communication through the offer and start-date process.

The successful candidate becomes your employee from the first day of work. A one-time recruitment fee is calculated as a percentage of the accepted annualized salary. A defined replacement guarantee is included, with the fee and guarantee period confirmed for the individual search.
