Qualified and Co

Qualified and Co. is a staffing company that positions itself as a precision hiring alternative to traditional agencies, working with organisations from startups through to enterprises. The company combines AI backed candidate screening with human recruiter expertise, and says it delivers a candidate submittal on average within 72 hours of a kickoff call. Prospective clients start with what the company calls a 20 minute virtual handshake to define hiring goals before search begins.

The company specialises in technology roles such as software development, product management and data science, alongside a stated focus on manufacturing recruitment spanning legacy and advanced manufacturing industries, and dedicated support for fast growing startups from seed stage through to Series C. Beyond search, Qualified and Co. also builds SaaS tools including a talent matching platform, a resume parsing engine and a candidate analytics dashboard, and offers AI strategy services such as AI readiness assessments and custom large language model integrations for hiring.

Qualified and Co. offers several pricing models rather than one fixed fee: a flat monthly fee of 900 US dollars per open role for fee free recruiting, direct hire at 10 percent of base salary, and contract or managed staffing at a 15 percent markup with no full time employee fee after 90 days of contract to hire. The company lists Tech, Manufacturing, Finance, Healthcare, Startups and Marketing among the sectors it has served, and its published client testimonials focus on the transparency of its pricing and the absence of long term lock in contracts.
