FAQ's - PeopleConnect

How long does it take to fill a position?

Generally, from the time we get started with a search to the time that a candidate is onboarded is 8 weeks. Our clients will have 3 well qualified candidates to choose from within 4 weeks. It usually takes another 4 weeks for interviews, reference and background checks.

How do I know if the salary is in line with the market?

We will conduct a very thorough salary survey which will show a range of cash compensation and equity. Assuming that our clients are open to remote workers we will run salary surveys in three different cities so they can comparison costs in major metropolitan areas verses a smaller city.

What if I am not sure what title/position I need in my company?

One of the things that we are really good at is helping our clients identify the best title for the positions they are seeking. Often early stage startups think they need to hire someone with C- level experience when a VP or Director will suffice.

Can you help with the job description?

Our team will work with you to create a great job description. If you do not have one, we can start from scratch with just a few bullet points. If you have already created a job description we’ll work together to make sure that what you’re looking for is very clear.

How is working with a recruiting firm better than a DIY search?

Here’s the truth about DIY hiring. When you post a job on LinkedIn, Zip, or Indeed, you’re only reaching about 30% of the market. And of the applicants who do come through, data shows only 3% are actually qualified enough to move to an interview. That means you could spend hours combing through hundreds of resumes just to find a handful worth your time.

As a Founder or CEO, your time is your most valuable asset. Every hour spent sorting through applicants is an hour not spent growing your business, closing deals, or leading your team. That’s not a good trade.

This is exactly why PeopleConnect exists. We take hiring completely off your plate so you can stay focused on your zone of genius. We do old school headhunting the right way. That means tapping into our network of over 100,000 candidates, posting across 150 job boards and industry discussion groups, and proactively finding the people who aren’t even actively job searching but are exactly who you need.

From there, we screen and interview the top candidates ourselves, and within four weeks we hand you a curated shortlist of the top 3 to 5 outstanding people. No noise. No wasted time. Just great options ready for your decision.

Bottom line: you can spend your time hiring, or you can get your time back, spending it focused on your area of expertise while we focus on ours.
