Working with The Free Agent allows you to do what you do best: Focus on growing your business.
Effectively assessing talent requires a mix of skill and intuition honed from years of experience. When it comes to vetting leadership, you need a well-rounded team who also understands the dynamics of fast growth and change–and the nuanced characteristics of those who navigate it best.
When we connect you with the right people, we help you significantly reduce risk in all areas related to mis-fit hires:
- Lost productivity
- Lost clients
- Damaged reputation with clients
- Damaged employer reputation
- Decreased teamwork
- Lost time
- Lost revenue
There are plenty of smart people who can get the job done–but The Free Agent finds the ones who make tackling our challenges enjoyable and positive, and everyone is better for it.
“You level of professionalism, responsiveness, and engagement is far superior to the other firms I am actively engaged with. I rarely have to send you an email to check in and never have to chase you down.”
I’ve worked with many executive headhunters over the years – some not so great, and some spectacular ones. Beau Billington and team fall into the latter. After only one meeting reviewing our needs for our very niche, executive role, Beau submitted several qualified candidates that hit the mark in all key areas; in fact, the quality and fit were so spot on, it made my hiring decision that much harder deciding which candidate to select. We ultimately ended up with a fantastic hire who is meeting and exceeding all expectations. Beyond the superior quality and fit of the slate of candidates, Beau was extremely professional, provided superior candidate overviews, and his follow through and responsiveness was top notch – everything you want in an executive headhunter. Highly recommend!
“We first engaged with The Free Agent about 2 years ago. They have established themselves as trusted advisors to our business and to me personally, often extending beyond talent placement to talking through strategic initiatives. I have interacted with many other firms in the space and The Free Agent is the best, I highly recommend them.
“I wanted to let you know, you have done an incredible job staying in contact, staying involved, and helping to drive the discussion and engagement with both the client and me. You are running laps around the competition in the executive search space. “
“I have worked with Beau for several years now, as both a candidate and a hiring manager, and his dedication and attention to detail and skill set is unmatched. In the recruiting and talent acquisition space you will not find a better partner than Beau.”
“Working with The Free Agent has been an excellent experience. They take time to understand your business, so they can identify candidates that not only deliver, but also align with your culture and business values. Unlike other firms we’ve worked with, The Free Agent screens and fully vets candidates before recommending them.”
I can’t thank you enough for connecting us with (Name Omitted). He has helped me so much with big picture stuff and blind spots that I have. I am very grateful.
The quality and candidate flow has been perfect and easy to manage. Far better than anything I have ever received internally, good job.
– SVP of Operations
Frequently Asked Questions
What does self-service mean?
Self-service simply means you are using our platform to interact with our curated candidates, posting your own positions, and managing the candidate funnel and overall process.
What is the guarantee period?
The guarantee period is the period of time in which we guarantee the relationship you have with a candidate that is converted to a resource. If the individual does not fulfill their obligations and or leaves within the grace period, we will replace the candidate at no additional cost
How/when is payment made/determined?
Payment on contract workers is due on the 1st and 15th of each month and the free agent will pay the contractor within 3 days of receiving payment from the client. Payment on the fultime side of the house is due 30 days after invoice, which is typically 30 days after the start of work
Can a contractor be rolled permanently?
This is no problem and very standard- we prorate the aforementioned fees over a 6 month period and payment due for rolling permanent is the difference upon the amount that was already received.
Are contract workers only available in 40 hour increments?
Absolutely not- we have a multitude of workers that are interested in working on their time table and the obligation is ultimately up to our client and the contractor to determine what works best for each party. We have contractors working 40 hours and many that are working 10, 20, and even 30 hours.
What are the typical contract periods?
We see a myriad of periods with month-to-month and 6 months being our two most popular. Ultimately the contract period is open and dependant on our clients needs and contractors availability
How long does it typically take to have candidates rolling in?
This depends on the actual need, but generally within 1-2 weeks we will begin funneling vetted candidates for your review and approval.
