1. Why should I use your services?
You want to focus on your core business, and you know that finding
talented people can be frustrating and time consuming. You may have run
some ads, or done some networking, and have not been impressed with the
caliber of candidates that responded. Or you may have gotten such a big
response that you do not have the time or staff to screen all the
candidates.
Why not take advantage of our expertise in quickly
understanding the requirements for success in your organization,
figuring out where to find good people, conducting effective
interviews, and attracting the best candidates? If you provide an
effective channel for communication and fill us in on your company and
its needs, we will provide a small number of qualified referrals for
you to interview.
2. What distinguishes Edelman & Associates from other recruiters?
We specialize in the software and biotech industries. The
requirements for candidates in these industries are often highly
specific and technical. Paul Edelman and his research staff have the
intelligence, professionalism, and industry knowledge to locate and
work effectively with these talented individuals.
We are careful and precise in assessing candidates
qualifications. Generally, we try to fill a position in one to three
referrals. Because of our excellent judgement, you will find that it is
often worth putting aside your stack of resumes and acting quickly when
we refer a candidate.

4. What is your fee structure and guarantee policy?
Edelman & Associates offers recruiting services on either a contingency or modified-retainer fee basis:
Contingency Recruiting: You pay a one-time
referral fee only if you hire a candidate we referred for your
consideration. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the employee's
base salary.
Modified-Retainer Recruiting: For clients who
seek to fill especially high priority positions, or in cases where it
is anticipated that a search will require a substantial investment in
research, we offer a modified-retainer arrangement. These fees are
calculated as a percentage of the employee's base salary. You pay one
third (33 1/3%) of the estimated fee as a non-refundable advance
against the anticipated contingency fee. In the event that you hire a
candidate referred by us, you pay the remaining 2/3 of the fee
calculated. If no hire is made, you can carry the initial advance
forward as a credit against a future contingency fee.
Guarantee Policy: If the candidate you hire
through us leaves your company voluntarily, or is terminated for cause,
during the first three months of employment, we will either supply a
satisfactory replacement without additional charge, or issue a refund
based on the following schedule:
- within 30 days: 100% for contingency searches, 66 2/3% for modified-retainer
- 31 to 60 days: 66 2/3%
- 61 to 90 days: 33 1/3%
If the candidate is terminated for
reasons unrelated to performance or suitability for the job, the
guarantee does not apply. To activate the guarantee, the fee must be
paid within 30 days of the candidate's first date of employment.
