Permanent hires you can count on.
Your core team is too important to get wrong. Direct placement delivers permanent, well-matched hires for mid to senior roles — backed by a replacement guarantee.
What direct placement is, in short
Direct placement is permanent recruitment for mid to senior core roles — SForce sources, screens and delivers a matched candidate who joins your own payroll, backed by a replacement guarantee. It suits roles central to your team, as opposed to contract, temporary or project-based hiring.
Direct Placement that delivers.
Direct placement is permanent recruitment for the core roles that build your business — mid-level specialists through to senior managers. The cost of a wrong hire here is measured in months, so the process has to be right.
SForce runs a targeted, rigorous search for each role, assessing both skills and culture fit, and stands behind every placement with a replacement guarantee — all on a transparent, success-based fee.

Direct placement is permanent recruitment — SForce finds, assesses and places a full-time employee into your team for mid to senior roles, on a success-based fee.
Is there a guarantee on permanent placements?
Yes. Every direct placement is backed by a replacement guarantee, so you are protected if a hire does not work out within the agreed period.

Direct placement is typically success-based — a transparent fee payable on a successful hire, agreed up front with no surprises.
How long does direct placement take?
For most roles we deliver a shortlist within 48–72 hours and complete hires in a few weeks, depending on seniority and availability.
