Agencies charge 20–25% because one recruiter runs one search by hand. Our system runs the first pass across 50+ sources in parallel, and our people spend their time talking to engineers. It costs us the same whether you hire at $120k or $220k — that's why the fee is flat

We needed a senior ML engineer and had $160k to spend. Two job posts, six weeks, 400 résumés — nothing. HaaS ran the whole thing in 14 days: found people who weren’t applying anywhere, interviewed them, and sent me 11 profiles with recordings. I spent 20 minutes on a brief and about two hours on calls.

Questions we hear on every call
1. How is this different from a recruiting agency?
Agencies forward whoever applied and charge 20–25%. We run the whole funnel — applying or not, 50+ sources — screen every candidate on camera, and charge a flat $10,000 on start with a 6-month replacement instead of 90 days
2. Will candidates know it's my company?
Only when you want them to. We can run the first outreach under HaaS, then introduce your company when there is mutual interest
3. What exactly have you checked before I see a candidate?
Identity, employment history, seniority, English, motivation, salary expectations and fit for your role. Every candidate also completes an AI interview and a live video interview
4. Can you find a senior engineer under $100k?
Often, yes. You set the budget first and we show who actually exists at that number before you spend anything
5. If the engineer is outside the US — who employs them, and who owns the IP?
You can hire directly or keep the engineer on our payroll. The contract includes a full IP assignment, NDA and the paperwork your company needs
6. Why a 6-month guarantee?
Because 90 days is barely enough to finish onboarding. If the hire does not work out within six months, we run the replacement search at no extra fee
