Agent

Agent is a remote recruitment company helping US-based companies hire top talent from around the world, emphasising cost savings of up to 70% on payroll compared to traditional hiring. The company offers a distinctive two-step process designed to streamline recruitment without opaque markup fees. Agent positions itself as a partner in the recruitment cycle, handling the full process from candidate sourcing to placement without requiring upfront fees, charging only if the client makes a hire.

The recruitment process begins with an initial consultation where candidates meet with a Senior Recruiter to discuss the role and organisational needs. Within seven days, Agent sends candidate profiles for review. If interested, employers can interview candidates free of charge and meet with as many or as few candidates as desired. After interviews conclude and if a candidate meets the employer's quality bar, Agent assists with bringing them onto the team. The company emphasises flexibility for any role type, from entry-level to senior positions and across creative to technical specialties.

Agent positions itself as solving the challenge of screening dozens of CVs and candidates to make a single hire. The company is built in Austin, Texas and serves startups through public companies as clients. The service model emphasises transparency in costs, candidate quality through deep vetting and background checks, and flexibility in the hiring process.
