Candidates from our existing talent database and internal referral lists require zero sourcing time, so this is usually the fastest way to set up interviews. For urgent, high-volume hiring, we can launch all channels at once. Executive search is mostly success-fee based, so in principle there is no charge if no candidate is placed.

Not keyword matching—precise matching

Our system analyzes skills, industry experience, career trajectory and cultural fit, narrows a database of over ten thousand profiles down to highly compatible candidates, and senior consultants then refine the shortlist before delivery.

Step 1

Requirement Analysis

We dig into the role requirements, team culture, and key skills, turning "who are we looking for" into conditions that can be computed.

Step 2

Smart database matching

AI calculates fit across multiple dimensions from a database of 10,000+ profiles and proactively reaches currently employed passive candidates, rather than waiting for applications.

Step 3

Refined and delivered by consultants

Senior consultants personally review, assess in depth and introduce well-matched candidates to you.

Talk with A-Cai, our AI interviewer, first—you'll know the result in 20–40 minutes

A-Cai, our AI interviewer, was developed in-house by Step1ne. After you apply, you will first have a formal conversation with A-Cai—equivalent to a first-round interview with a human consultant. No waiting for a consultant to find a time slot, and no need to take time off work.

  • Follow-up questions based on your résumé and the job, not read from a question bank
  • Every transcript is reviewed by a human consultant; A-Cai never makes the final decision
  • Type your answers, or tap the microphone and speak

No one is screened out by a machine without a person ever looking—this stage is always checked by people.

FAQ

How do headhunting consultants charge?
Executive search is usually done on a contingency (success-fee) basis, with the fee typically calculated as a percentage of the hired candidate's annual salary and settled after the candidate starts. Before any engagement, Step1ne confirms the position specifications and fee structure with the company, so the process is transparent with no hidden fees.
How long does it usually take to find someone?
It depends on how hard the role is to fill. Candidates from our existing talent database and internal referral lists require zero sourcing time, so this is usually the fastest way to set up interviews; for typical roles, we start submitting candidates in about 2–4 weeks. For urgent, high-volume hiring, we can launch all channels at once (our database, job boards, LinkedIn and local communities) to fill positions faster.
Is there a guarantee period or a replacement guarantee?
We agree on a guarantee period before the engagement. If the hired candidate leaves within that period, Step1ne provides a free replacement; specific terms follow what both parties agree in the engagement contract.
Whose employee is a temporary staff member? What responsibilities does the company carry?
Staffing employees sign their employment contract with Step1ne, and Step1ne is responsible for salary, labor and health insurance, and labor-law obligations. The host company is responsible only for directing and managing the work on site. If you perform well during the assignment, both sides can separately agree on the terms and timing for conversion to a permanent position.
How is executive search different from a job board?
Job boards are passive: you post an ad and collect a wide net of résumés. Executive search is proactive: a consultant targets passive candidates in specific industries and functions (people who are employed and not openly job hunting) and approaches and evaluates them confidentially. It is well suited to key and confidential positions.
