Before you hire

Our 180-day replacement guarantee and terms, in plain English

If a hire leaves or is let go for performance within their first 180 days, we search again at no fee, and until the hire starts you pay $0 on a Latin America search, or only the $500 upfront payment on a US search.

What triggers a replacement

The 180 days run from the hire's start date. Either of these within them starts a replacement search:

  • The hire leaves
  • The hire is let go for performance

What if the replacement does not last either?

  1. Each replacement gets a fresh 180 days from their own start date
  2. We keep searching until a hire passes the guarantee period

What the guarantee does not cover

  • Layoffs, restructuring or role elimination
  • A material change to the role's duties or pay
  • An unpaid invoice

How to claim a replacement

  1. Tell us in writing within 5 business days of the departure
  2. We hold the kickoff call where we define the role
  3. First candidates arrive within 5 business days for Latin America roles or 10 business days for US roles
  4. You interview and hire the replacement
