What Our Clients Say
Perm Search FAQs
What is Permanent Search?
Permanent Search is Celarity’s direct hire recruiting service — sourcing, screening, and placing full-time candidates directly onto your payroll. Unlike contract staffing, a permanent hire joins your team from day one with full access to benefits, compensation, and career growth. Every Celarity shortlist is screened through the Predictive Index® for behavioral and cognitive fit before you see a single résumé.
How does Celarity's Permanent Search process work?
We start with a discovery conversation to understand your team, culture, and role requirements. From there, we tap into our proprietary network of 90,000+ professionals — including candidates who aren’t actively looking and would never apply to a job posting — and deliver a PI®-screened shortlist typically within 30 days.
What is your Permanent Search pricing model?
We work on a contingency basis — you only pay when we successfully place a candidate. Our fee is a percentage of the placed candidate’s first-year base salary. Contact us for specific pricing.
What makes Celarity different from other direct hire firms?
Three things: PI® behavioral screening on every shortlist, a proprietary network of 90,000+ professionals (most of whom won’t apply to job postings), and the industry’s longest hiring guarantee — up to 5 years versus the typical 90-day standard.
How do we get started?
Contact us through our website or call us directly. We’ll schedule a discovery call, learn about your role and team, and have a search underway typically within 48 hours.
What types of roles do you place?
We specialize in marketing, creative, digital, HR, finance, and operations roles — from coordinator-level through director and VP.
What industries do you serve?
Finance and banking, healthcare and medical device, business services, retail and e-commerce, agencies, family offices, and family-owned businesses.
How fast can you fill a permanent role?
Our average time to shortlist is 30 days — less than half the national average of 45+ days. We move quickly without cutting corners, because every candidate is PI®-screened before you see them.
What is Celarity's Permanent Search guarantee?
Our hiring guarantee provides fee protection from day one and up to five years — the longest in the industry by a significant margin. If a placement doesn’t work out within the guarantee period, we re-run the search at no additional cost.
What happens if a placement doesn't work out?
We re-run the search. Our 5-year guarantee means you’re protected long after the typical 90-day window closes at other firms. We have skin in the game on every placement.
Do you place talent at companies of all sizes?
Yes — from family-owned businesses to Fortune 500s. Our process scales to your needs regardless of company size.
How do you source candidates?
We tap into our proprietary network of 90,000+ professionals, active job boards, referral networks, and 35 years of Twin Cities relationships. Many of our best placements come from candidates who aren’t actively looking — people you’d never find through a job posting.
How do you ensure candidates are a strong match?
Every candidate is screened through the Predictive Index® for behavioral and cognitive fit — not just skills and experience. We match candidates to your team’s profile, not just the job description.
Can we interview candidates before deciding?
Always. We coordinate and coach both sides through the interview process and never pressure you toward a decision.
Do you conduct background and reference checks?
Yes — background and reference checks are part of our standard process before any offer is extended.
