Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the financial structure of a direct hire search with Scion?

We operate primarily on a contingency search model, meaning our service fee is performance-based and tied directly to a successful placement. For highly confidential, technical, or specialized senior executive roles, we also offer containerized and retained search options to ensure maximum sourcing priority.

How does your team uncover passive candidates who aren't applying online?

Over nearly two decades as a trusted San Francisco recruiting agency, we have built a proprietary database of over 650,000 vetted professionals. Our specialized recruiters actively maintain relationships within industry networks, allowing us to source talent through trusted personal references and targeted, direct outreach rather than job boards.

What is your standard turnaround time for presenting a direct hire shortlist?

For most corporate, accounting, and operational roles, we present a curated shortlist of highly qualified, vetted candidates within 3 to 5 business days of establishing the search criteria. Technical or specialized niche positions generally average 5 to 7 business days.

Does your recruiting agency help negotiate compensation packages for SF talent?

Yes. We act as a strategic advisor during the offer phase. We leverage real-time local salary data across San Francisco, Oakland, and Silicon Valley to structure balanced compensation packages, guiding negotiations on bonuses, equity, and remote work structures to secure an immediate acceptance.

Does Scion Staffing specialize in scaling teams for early-stage San Francisco startups using direct hire services?

Absolutely. We are experts in supporting early-stage, venture-backed startups that need to scale rapidly and maintain cultural fit. We handle bulk direct-hire searches across departments (Tech, Product, G&A) with the speed and precision required to build foundational teams from Seed stage through Series B funding rounds.
