What if a hire doesn’t work out?

We stand by our placements. Our replacement guarantee ensures that if a direct-hire employee isn’t the right fit, we will replace them at no additional cost.

Do you conduct pre-hire assessments?

Yes. We use industry-leading online assessments covering over 1,000 validated tests across clerical, software, behavioral, financial, healthcare, and technical job classifications. We also conduct reference checks and employment verification, providing predictive insights into candidate performance.

How quickly can you fill a position?

Time-to-fill depends on the role, market conditions, and hiring processes. However, our goal is to present qualified, vetted candidates within five business days of starting your search.

What hiring challenges might arise?

We proactively address common obstacles such as:

Visa sponsorship requirements
Salary misalignment with experience level
Limited candidate availability for niche skills
Relocation or remote work challenges
High-travel positions limiting candidate interest

As your recruitment partner, we will strategize solutions to overcome hiring roadblocks.

Do you have candidates readily available?

Our recruiters maintain an active pipeline of pre-screened professionals in key industries, including IT, healthcare, engineering, life sciences, and finance. While we cannot guarantee an immediate match, we have access to thousands of vetted candidates ready for the right opportunity.

Who handles the offer process—Alaant or the employer?

Alaant typically extends verbal offers on behalf of our clients. Once a candidate accepts, the employer can send a formal offer letter and begin onboarding. However, we are flexible and can adjust the process based on your preferences.

How does your recruitment process work?

Discovery & Intake – We start our process by getting to know our clients needs and workplace culture.

Sourcing & Screening – We identify top candidates through our robust referral network, direct outreach, campaigns (AKA headhunting), job postings if needed and our database that houses thousands of candidate profiles.

Interviews & Assessments – Candidates complete a structured interview and, if required, technical or skills assessments.

Client Submission & Scheduling support – We present vetted candidates and coordinate interviews.

Offer & Onboarding – We facilitate offer negotiations and provide support throughout the hiring process.

How do you screen candidates?

Our hands-on, human-centered approach includes:

One-on-one interviews (in-person or virtual)
Industry-specific skill assessments (Microsoft Office, Programming, Accounting, etc.)
Online reference checks using predictive hiring analytics
Optional background checks and drug screenings

What is a direct hire placement?

A direct hire is a permanent, full-time or part-time role where Alaant sources and screens candidates, but the employer hires them directly. Our placement fee is contingency-based and backed by the Alaant guarantee.
