FAQ
-
Why is hiring in the U.S. so difficult for international companies?
The U.S. hiring market is complex and highly competitive. Without local knowledge, companies risk wasting time, overpaying, or hiring the wrong candidates. We bring market insights, compliance expertise, and vetted candidate pipelines.

How do you reduce the risk of a bad hire?
Bad hires are costly in the U.S. We minimize this risk with rigorous candidate screening, structured evaluations, and a success-based recruitment model, so you only meet candidates who truly fit.

What about time zone challenges when hiring from abroad?
Time differences often slow down decision-making and interviews. As your U.S.-based partner, we coordinate communication and keep candidates engaged, so you don’t lose talent to delays.

How can you help with cultural and communication gaps?
European and U.S. work cultures differ. From job offers to reporting styles, we help align expectations on both sides, ensuring smoother integration, less turnover, and stronger long term retention.

How do you handle compliance with U.S. employment laws?

How do you manage regional differences in the U.S. labor market?
