Overview

What Direct Hire Recruiting looks like with CorLeon Group

Direct hire is for the roles you need filled once and filled right: a controller, a plant manager, a lead estimator, an office manager who will run the place. The cost of getting these wrong is measured in quarters, not weeks.

We run a full-cycle confidential search, market mapping, direct outreach to people who are not applying to job boards, structured assessment, reference work and offer management. The hire joins your payroll directly.

Direct Hire Recruiting in practice
Warning Signs

Signs your business needs Direct Hire Recruiting

If more than one of these sounds familiar, the exposure is already there. It is cheaper to fix before a claim than after one.

A Critical Seat Sitting Empty

A business-critical role is vacant and the work is being absorbed by people who already had jobs.

Replacing Someone Still In Post

The search has to happen without the incumbent, the team or the market knowing about it.

No Reach Into Passive Candidates

The people you actually want are employed and not reading job boards, and nothing in your process reaches them.

What Causes It

Why this happens to Central Valley employers

The roles that stay empty longest are the ones where the right candidate is not looking. Posting harder does not solve it. A permanent, business-critical seat usually needs someone approached directly, confidentially, and given a reason to consider a move they were not planning.

Confidentiality is the other constraint. When you are replacing an underperformer who is still in the building, or opening a role that signals a strategic shift, the search cannot be visible. That rules out the fast, cheap channels and puts the work in the hands of someone who can run it quietly.

Direct Hire Recruiting context

Growth outpaces process, and California rules change yearly. Undocumented practice becomes the exposure.

What's Included

How It Works

Four steps, start to finish

1

Define & Map

Success profile, compensation range, and a map of where the candidates actually are.

2

Approach Directly

Confidential outreach to passive candidates who match the profile.

3

Assess & Present

Structured assessment, then a short slate with written notes rather than a stack of resumes.

4

Close

Offer strategy, negotiation, references and start-date management.

What Affects The Cost

What drives the price of Direct Hire Recruiting

Every engagement is quoted after a scoping call, so you see the number before you commit. These are the factors that move it.

Role Level And Scarcity

Executive and specialist searches take longer and require deeper sourcing than supervisory hires.

Confidentiality Requirements

A fully confidential search restricts channels and adds time to the process.

Guarantee Period

Longer replacement guarantees are available and are priced into the engagement.

We do not publish rates because a figure without a scope is meaningless. Call (559) 334-5546 and we will tell you what your situation costs.

We needed to replace a plant manager without anyone knowing. They ran the whole search confidentially and we made the change in one clean week.

Client Reviews

What Central Valley employers say

We had grown to forty people with no handbook and no real process. CorLeon rewrote everything in about six weeks and now our supervisors actually know what to do when something comes up.

Marisol Reyes
Operations Director, Valley Packing Co.

They handled a complaint we were dreading. Impartial, documented, done in two weeks, and we came out of it with a file our attorney was comfortable with.

Daniel Ortega
Owner, Ortega Construction

Having one advisor who picks up the phone has been the whole difference. We use them for hiring and for the compliance calendar, and nothing slips anymore.
