Stop running the hiring funnel yourself. We place senior remote talent, primarily from the Philippines and Kenya, directly onto your team. The kind of hire your customers will mistake for in-house. Six years of placements behind every search.
30 minutes. No pitch deck. We figure out if we're a good fit.
You screen resumes between customer calls. You scroll LinkedIn at 11pm. You watch your team absorb the gap.
You have tried the obvious moves. LinkedIn Recruiter at $10K a year buried you in noise. The local firm sent three ghost candidates and went quiet after the second no-show. You hired someone from your network who looked great in conversation, then spent six months managing them out.
Here is the part nobody says out loud. The cost of an open seat is not the salary you skip paying. It is the founder hours you burn, the revenue the role would be making, and the stress on the people covering the gap. A bad hire can cost up to 2x annual salary to replace. A slow hire costs more.
You do not need another agency. You need a partner who runs the search, hands you pre-vetted candidates with Zoom recordings before you spend a calendar hour, and stays on the hook until your hire is on the team and producing.
That second part is the whole game. It comes from how we run the search before anyone signs an offer. Three things have to be true at intake. We own all three.
Our vetting engine has run since 2020 across 100+ placements. Thousands of monthly applicants narrow down to fewer than 100 interviews. Less than 1% reach a placement panel.
Every candidate sits through a structured Zoom interview with a real person. You watch the recording before you spend any calendar time.
Cheap recruiters fill seats with cheap labor. Cheap labor leaves. Most agencies see six-month tenures. TraitX placements stay more than 12 months on average.
We benchmark and pay at living-wage rates for each market. That brings in senior people building careers, not gig workers waiting for a better offer.
We recruit mostly from senior remote pros in the Philippines and Kenya. AI-fluent. Fluent English. Looking for long-term roles.
Pay that goes further in those markets means a better paycheck for them and a much lower all-in cost for you.
A 30-minute call to learn the role, your team, and what success looks like. Within 48 hours you have a written role spec and pay benchmark in your inbox. Use it with us. Use it with anyone. Keep it for next time.
You say go, $500 starts the search. Refunded in full if we do not find a fit. Credited toward your placement fee if we do. That is your only at-risk dollar before someone walks in the door.
You get redacted resumes plus full Zoom interview recordings for each shortlisted candidate. You see and hear them before you spend a single calendar minute on interviews. You pick who to meet. We line up the rest.
You make the offer. We stay close to the candidate so they do not ghost. The rest of the fee (33% of first-year base, less the $500 deposit) is due before your hire's first day. If they leave inside 90 days, we re-run the search at no extra charge. That is the 90-Day Replacement Promise.
SaaS, e-commerce, services, agencies, software, consumer brands, B2B. The common thread is not your industry. It is the situation.
You are reading 200 resumes between customer calls. We hand you pre-vetted finalists so you can get back to building.
Someone quit with no notice and the team is buckling. Candidate panel in 14 days. Fee due before they start.
Three hires in a year, none past month four. TraitX places people who stick past 12 months, so the training time pays you back instead of going to waste.
I was admittedly skeptical at first. They proved my skepticism unwarranted.
I forget they're technically not in-house. They truly are part of the Bonify team.
I thought my life was going to become a living hell. It was extraordinary instead.
We were immediately struck by their values and commitment to helping their employees, which meshed with our values completely. Attentive. Hire the best people. We see no reason to stop.
$80K to $150K all-in per year. Only makes sense if you hire a lot. Months of ramp before they are productive.
Looks cheaper on paper. Placements average about 6 months and you pay again for the replacement search. The full cost ends up higher.
$10K+/year in tool cost plus 15+ hours a week of founder time at $200+/hr opportunity cost. Most expensive option once you do the math.
One-time fee paid before start. Sticky placements that do not need replacing. Your founder hours go back to the business.
Most placement firms walk away the day your hire starts. We do not. The Sticky-Team Retainer is how we keep the placement sticky after you have signed the offer.
Team-building, anniversaries, birthdays, holiday gifting. The work most owners mean to do and never get to.
Runs cleanly through our partner stack (Deel, Remote.com, Oyster).
PTO, time tracking, the small stuff that eats founder hours.
Day one or six months in. Cancel any time.
Role spec and pay benchmark within 48 hours of kickoff. Candidate panel within 14 days. Kickoff to hired runs about 30 days.
Look at what you pay over time. Cheaper firms average about 6-month tenure. TraitX placements stay more than 12 months. Add up the re-search fees and lost work, and 33% with a hire who stays is cheaper end to end.
You owe nothing more. The placement fee is due before your hire's first day, not on offer acceptance. If they ghost between offer and start, the $500 deposit is your only at-risk dollar and we re-run the search at no extra charge.
We re-run the search at no extra charge. That is the 90-Day Replacement Promise. No conditions. No fine print.
Two options. Use our partner-discounted providers (Deel, Remote.com, Oyster) and run it yourself. Or add the Sticky-Team Retainer at $495/mo per placed hire and we handle payroll, light HR, and culture work for you.
TraitX works for any role. It screens for soft skills, judgment, and fit signals that predict whether someone stays. Six years of placements across admin, sales, ops, customer support, customer success, marketing, software engineering, and finance.
TraitX picks less than 1% of monthly applicants. Most are senior, AI-fluent, English-proficient, and looking for long-term roles. You see the redacted resume and the Zoom interview before you spend a calendar minute. You judge the quality yourself.
Three reasons baked into how we work. You watch Zoom recordings of pre-vetted candidates before you meet anyone. The $500 deposit is refundable and the placement fee is not due until before your hire's first day, so we cannot disappear once the deal closes. And the same recruiting team has run TraitX since 2020 with clients who keep coming back.
Optional. $495/mo per placed hire covers payroll, light HR, and the culture work most agencies skip (team-building, anniversaries, gifting). Add it any time after placement.
If you have read this far, you already know what an open seat is costing you. Another month of LinkedIn Recruiter and ghosted candidates will not close the gap. A 30-minute call will tell us if Staffing Studio is the right partner for the role you are trying to fill.
