FAQ
Straight answers to the questions that matter.
Everything a first-time client or candidate tends to ask before starting a search with Flux.
How quickly can Flux start?
Most searches begin within a couple of business days of a short intake conversation. Our target is to deliver the first qualified shortlist within 7 business days.
Do you work with staffing firms behind their brand?
Yes. For boutique staffing firms, Flux works quietly behind your brand. Your clients stay entirely yours. We simply add sourcing and qualification capacity, and everything is presented as your delivery.
How does Flux pricing work?
Three simple models: Flux Flex (fixed-fee, per hire), Flux Embedded (monthly recruiting capacity), and Flux Exclusive (custom, dedicated search). Each has a clear scope defined up front.
Do you charge an upfront fee?
Depending on the engagement, a Search Activation Fee may apply to reserve dedicated recruiting time. Where applicable, it's credited toward your placement fee on a successful hire, so it's an advance on the work rather than an added cost.
What is the Search Activation Fee?
It's a small fee that confirms commitment and reserves dedicated recruiting time for your role. On a successful hire, it's credited toward the placement fee. Exact amounts and terms are set out in your engagement agreement.
What happens if a candidate drops out?
Every engagement includes candidate replacement and guarantee terms. Within the guarantee window defined in your agreement, we re-open the search and prioritize a replacement, with no surprise fees.
Can Flux handle multiple job orders?
Yes. Flux Embedded is designed for multiple roles in parallel and recurring volume, a strong fit for staffing firms and fast-scaling teams.
Which roles and industries do you recruit?
In the USA: IT & Technology, Business Professionals, and Executive Search. In Canada: Manufacturing. We deliberately focus where we know the market. We don't recruit for every role in every industry.
Do you recruit in both the USA and Canada?
Yes. Flux supports the United States (IT, Business Professionals, Executive Search) and Canada (Manufacturing and related functions), with experience across both talent markets.
How do you qualify candidates?
Every candidate is checked against five things before reaching you: technical or functional fit, career alignment, motivation, communication, and logistics (location, work authorization, compensation, availability). If we wouldn't recommend them to the hiring manager, we don't send them.
