For clients
Hire verified senior professionals.
No screening noise.
Curated shortlist. Faster fill. Placement guarantee. Retained search that works.
01
What you get
- • Verified competence — not self-reported, not guessed. Evidence-based verification via reference calls, work-history audit, structured assessment.
- • Curated shortlist — 3–5 candidates matched to your brief, not 50 résumés to screen.
- • Faster time-to-fill — weeks, not months of screening and follow-up.
- • Placement guarantee — we replace at no fee within 8 weeks if it doesn't work out.
- • Retained means committed — we're on the hook because we're not working five other reqs at once.
02
Why retained works better than contingent
- • You're paying for certainty, not volume churn
- • We're committed because our fee doesn't land until you hire — and keep them
- • Faster hire means lower total cost vs. three contingent recruiters fighting for placement
- • No candidate churn — we've verified them, they're serious, they're not applying everywhere
- • Confidentiality — we're not broadcasting your role to every contractor in the market
03
The process
- Tell us the role — discipline, seniority, location, team, key requirements.
- We identify candidates from our verified network who match.
- You receive anonymised profiles — competence summary only, no names or current employers.
- If you're interested, we get explicit candidate consent and reveal the full profile.
- You interview, offer, and they start.
- We support the first 8 weeks and guarantee the placement.
04
Verified to a standard
- • Role-specific competency framework — matched to your seniority and discipline, not a generic grid
- • Evidence-based verification — reference calls, work-history audit, licensed credentials checked
- • Track record of delivered work — actual outcomes, not résumé bullets
- • Benchmarked to seniority — senior hires are serious, not entry-level pretenders

FAQ
How much does retained cost?
Fee structure depends on role seniority — typically 15–20% of first-year salary, or a flat retainer. We discuss it during the initial call.
Why not just use SEEK or Indeed?
Job boards give you volume — 100 applications, 95% not qualified. You do all the screening. TMC-R gives you curation — a small shortlist of verified candidates. We do the screening so you don't waste your time.
What if the hire doesn't work out?
We replace at no additional fee within the first 8 weeks. You're only paying once if they stay.
How long does it take to fill a role?
Typically 2–4 weeks from brief to shortlist, then your interview timeline. Much faster than posting and screening.
Do you keep my role confidential?
Yes. We only approach candidates who could be a fit and never broadcast your role to the market.
