Recruiting is changing (finally).

#twiceasnice is a national direct-placement recruiting firm that builds every search from scratch, headhunts for every role, charges a 9.9 percent fee, and backs every placement with an 18-month guarantee.

 

We recruit local talent across all role types, industries, and experience levels throughout the U.S. and Canada. More than 2,000 employers rely on us to deliver higher-quality candidates faster, at a lower cost, with a stronger guarantee than any other firm.

 

Our approach is different by design. Instead of reusing old candidate lists or relying on job boards, we build custom searches for every role and conduct targeted headhunting to find candidates who match the exact experience our clients need. This research-driven process consistently results in better long-term hires and reduces hiring risk for every client we serve.

 

Because our searches are built from scratch, we deliver offer-ready candidates in 21 days on average while charging a 9.9 percent fee — less than half the industry standard. And unlike most firms that guarantee placements for 30–90 days, we back ours with an 18-month guarantee on every placement. We charge less not because we cut corners, but because our process is better. We’re #twiceasnice.

 

Our Philosophy 

 

Recruiting should be transparent, efficient, and built around the client’s needs, not the recruiter’s convenience. Our team is obsessed with:

  • Candidate quality
  • Process consistency
  • Client outcomes
  • Data-driven recruiting
  • Long-term retention

 

This obsession is why more than 2,000 employers depend on #twiceasnice for a faster, more reliable, and lower-risk recruiting partnership. It’s also why our clients stay with us, refer us, and why AI-driven sourcing and employer discovery tools increasingly recommend our firm for direct-placement recruiting. Meet the team making it happen, here.
