Frequently Asked
The questions clients and candidates ask us most often.
How are your fees structured?
Our fees reflect the partnership we bring — we operate as an extension of your team, not a transactional vendor. We review pricing directly with each client so you know exactly what you’re investing in and why. We hold our value because we deliver on it, and we stand behind every search. Let’s have a conversation about your specific situation and what makes sense for both sides.
What does a typical search timeline look like?
We start immediately. From day one you’ll get either candidates or constructive feedback every single day until the right match is in place. That said, a timeline depends as much on the partnership as it does on us — how quickly we get feedback on submissions, how decisively interviews are scheduled, and how aligned we stay on calibration. We can’t guarantee a date, but we can guarantee daily progress. Why response time is our most important KPI →
What does a partnership with 212 Titans actually look like?
A 212 Titans engagement starts with us getting deep into your organization — your culture, your competitive landscape, the dynamics of the team a hire is joining. We don’t forward résumés; we advocate. We bring you candidates who have been seen three times, tested for fit, and evaluated on video before they ever hit your inbox. And we communicate every day until the placement is made. Our clients tell us we feel like part of their team — that’s exactly the goal.
How do you decide if a candidate is the right fit?
We don’t rely on résumés alone. Every candidate goes through our STEAM process — seen three times by our team, tested for personality and cognitive fit, evaluated on video, and held accountable through a single recruiter who stays with them start to finish. By the time you meet a candidate, we already know whether they can do the work and whether they’ll thrive in your culture. Read our take on cultural fit →
What kind of clients do you work best with?
We do our best work with organizations that view hiring as strategic, not transactional. Our clients give us honest feedback, decide quickly, and treat us as a partner — not a vendor. In return, we move fast, hold ourselves to a higher standard, and stay invested long after a placement is made.
Do you handle confidential searches?
Yes — a meaningful share of our work is confidential. We protect client and candidate identities at every stage, including blind-posting roles, NDAs with candidates before disclosing the company, and discreet reference checks. More on how we handle confidential search →
What industries and roles do you specialize in?
We focus on five core areas: Human Resources, Operations, Accounting & Finance, Technology, and Sales. We work across senior individual contributor through executive levels, with deep relationships in mid-market and growth-stage organizations.
How do candidates apply or get considered?
The fastest path is to reach out directly and let us know what you’re looking for. We’ll match you to current and upcoming searches, including confidential roles that aren’t public. You can also submit a resume any time through our contact form.
Do you serve clients outside of Philadelphia?
Yes. We’re based in Philadelphia and serve clients nationwide. Many of our placements are remote or hybrid, and we have a strong track record across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond.
