Faster Time-to-Hire, Better Retention
Our average time-to-qualified-slate is under 10 business days for most professional roles. More importantly, our placements stay — because we match on culture and competency, not just resume keywords.
How a recruiting search works
Full-cycle recruiting from the first intake call to the new hire’s first day, run by recruiters with Catapult HR practitioners behind them.
Role intake
We meet with you to understand the role, your team, your culture and your pay range.
Job description and pay
We write or refine the job description and benchmark compensation against the market.
Sourcing
We find and reach candidates who match the role, not just the keywords on a resume.
Screening and interviews
We design the interview process, assess candidates and keep the process EEOC compliant.
Your shortlist
You get a shortlist of qualified candidates to interview, with our notes on each one.
Offer and onboarding
We help structure the offer, coordinate background checks and support onboarding.
What you do: join the intake call, review the shortlist, interview the finalists and make the hiring decision. We handle the rest of the search.
Recruiting, RPO or contract recruiting: which fits?
Catapult offers three ways to get hiring done. The right one depends on how many roles you have and how long you need help.
| Recruiting | RPO | Contract recruiting | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | We fill specific roles, one search at a time. | A Catapult recruiting team embedded in your business, recruiting under your company name. | Experienced recruiters for a defined period or project. |
| Best for | A few open roles, especially ones that are hard to fill. | Ongoing or high-volume hiring, from full-cycle to project or on-demand. | Hiring surges, short-term projects or an overloaded internal team. |
| Who owns the process | Catapult runs the search; you choose the hire. | Catapult runs some or all of your recruiting as part of your HR team. | Our recruiters work alongside your team on your process. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the recruiting process look like?
We start with a role intake meeting to understand requirements, culture, and compensation. We then source, screen, and present a shortlist of 3-5 qualified candidates within 10 business days for most roles.
How do you handle compliance in the hiring process?
Our process is EEOC-compliant by design. We assist with lawful interview question frameworks, ban-the-box compliance, and pre-employment background screening through our in-house screening team.
Do you offer a placement guarantee?
Yes. We offer a replacement guarantee for direct-hire placements. Terms vary by engagement type — ask your Catapult talent specialist for details.
What is the difference between recruiting, RPO and contract recruiting?
Recruiting fills specific roles one search at a time. RPO embeds a Catapult recruiting team in your business to run some or all of your hiring under your company name. Contract recruiting gives you experienced recruiters for a defined period or project, from a single search to added capacity for your own team.
Can you run background checks on our finalists?
Yes. Catapult has its own employment screening team, so criminal searches, employment and education verification, and other checks can be ordered as part of the same hire.
Do you help with the job description and pay range?
Yes. Job description writing and market compensation benchmarking are part of our recruiting service, so the role is defined and priced before sourcing starts. Free HR templates, including a job description and an offer letter, are also available.
Who makes the final hiring decision?
You do. We handle sourcing, screening and the shortlist, and you interview the finalists and choose who to hire. We can then help with the offer and coordinate onboarding.
