Employer Hiring FAQ's
Get clear answers about partnering with Machota Solutions, from our straightforward pricing models to our search methodology and delivery timelines.
Our Hiring Process
What's included when I work with Machota Solutions?
I handle the recruiting process from finding candidates through helping coordinate the interview process. That includes sourcing, outreach, candidate conversations, resume review, and presenting candidates who I believe are worth your time.
The goal is not to send you a large stack of resumes. It’s to do the work upfront and introduce you to a smaller number of strong candidates who fit what you’re looking for.
How is Machota Solutions different from other recruiting firms?
You work directly with me throughout the entire search, not a salesperson who passes your opening to another recruiter.
I’ve spent 15+ years in recruiting, including both internal recruiting and agency experience. I take the time to understand your company, the position, and what you actually need before reaching out to candidates.
My approach is simple: targeted outreach, real conversations, clear communication, and fewer but stronger candidates.
How do you decide if someone is a good fit?
A resume is only part of the picture.
Before I introduce a candidate, I speak with them directly to understand their experience, what they’re looking for next, compensation expectations, location or commute, interest in the opportunity, and anything else that is important for the role.
I’ll give you the information I learn so you can make an informed decision about whether you’d like to meet them.
Rates & Schedule
How do your recruiting fees work?
Most searches are contingency-based, meaning there is no upfront recruiting fee. You only pay a fee if you hire a candidate I introduce.
The fee and payment terms are agreed upon before the search begins, so everything is clear upfront.
I can also discuss other arrangements for companies with multiple openings or ongoing recruiting needs.
How quickly will I start seeing candidates?
Every search is different, but I typically begin outreach immediately after we agree to work together and I understand exactly what you’re looking for.
For many searches, I can begin sharing qualified candidates within the first week. More specialized or senior-level positions may take longer because I would rather find the right candidates than rush resumes over just to show activity.
I’ll keep you updated along the way so you know what I’m seeing in the market.
Expectations & Agreement
What do I need to do while you’re searching?
Not much as that’s part of the reason you’re hiring me.
At the beginning, I’ll need a good understanding of the position, compensation, what you’re looking for, and anything that could help me represent the opportunity accurately.
Once the search starts, the biggest thing I ask for is timely feedback. If I send a candidate, letting me know what you like or don’t like helps me adjust the search and keeps strong candidates engaged.
You can focus on running your business while I focus on finding the right people.
Do I have to sign a contract?
Absolutely. We provide a service agreement detailing the project scope and deliverables to ensure full transparency and mutual understanding regarding our partnership from day one.
Can I cancel a project after it begins, if I’m not happy?
Yes. Projects may be cancelled after they begin.
