Questions & clarity

Pricing FAQ for growing teams

How quickly can we launch a new engagement?

Discovery to shortlist usually takes 10–14 days for direct hire and around 21 days for managed squads. Need to move faster? We can tap pre-vetted talent from TOP Next.

Do you work with existing payroll or HR systems?

Yes. We plug into your HCM, payroll, ATS, and collaboration tools, and we’ll guide migrations if you want everything under TOP.

Can we scale the team up or down?

Absolutely. Retainers and managed squads include flexible headcount so you can ramp with project or revenue cycles.

What happens if a hire doesn’t work out?

Every engagement includes replacement guarantees and remediation plans. We coach early, and if the fit isn’t right, we restart the search within the guarantee window at no extra cost.
