Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does Perfect Timing's pricing compare to other Bay Area staffing agencies?

    Perfect Timing's pricing is competitive with other Marin and Sonoma County staffing agencies. Temporary and contract staffing runs 50 to 85 percent markup, and direct hire runs 20 to 30 percent of annual salary. We focus on delivering value through local market knowledge, faster time-to-fill, and matches that last.

  • Are there any hidden staffing fees?

    No. The fees we quote are all-inclusive and cover sourcing, screening, and placement. For temporary and contract staffing, the markup covers payroll, payroll taxes, benefits, and workers' comp. No surprise charges.

  • What's included in the direct hire placement fee?

    The direct hire fee covers the full search: candidate screening, background checks, skills assessments, and a dedicated recruiter managing the process from search to offer.

  • How do I get the 20% direct hire staffing fee?

    The lower direct hire fees are reserved for our non-profit clients.

  • What's the difference between temporary, temp-to-hire, and direct hire?

    Temporary staffing places a candidate on Perfect Timing's payroll for the length of an assignment, with no obligation to hire. Temp-to-hire works the same way but gives you the option to convert the candidate to your payroll after a trial period, at which point the direct hire rate applies. Direct hire places the candidate straight onto your payroll from day one.

  • Does Perfect Timing offer volume discounts?

    Yes. Volume pricing is available for clients hiring multiple positions in the same time frame or with ongoing staffing needs.

  • How does Perfect Timing determine the rate for temporary and contract staffing?

    Rates are based on the candidate's skill level, the local market rate, and assignment length. The 50 to 85 percent markup covers payroll, payroll taxes, benefits, and the Perfect Timing service fee.
