Clear fees, so you can partner with confidence

We put the fee structure in the contract before you engage us—a transparent process with no hidden costs later.

Pay only on success

Full-time recruitment and executive search are mostly success-based: if no candidate starts, there is, in principle, no fee.

Free replacement during the guarantee period

A guarantee period is agreed before the engagement. If the candidate leaves within that period, we provide a free replacement, subject to the terms of the contract.

Transparent, no hidden fees

Role specs, hiring terms and fees are written into the engagement agreement up front, and we report progress throughout.

What we do after you engage us

One-stop service from confirming your needs to the candidate's first day — you only sign off at key milestones.

1

Consultation and fee confirmation

Confirm the role specs, hiring terms and fees, and write them into the engagement agreement.

2

Start the talent search

Database matching and active sourcing run in parallel; urgent searches can launch across all channels.

3

AI matching + consultant screening

Multi-dimensional AI analysis, followed by a consultant's manual review and initial interview.

4

Submitting candidates and scheduling interviews

We deliver qualified candidates at a pace that rivals in-house recruiting and arrange the interviews.

5

Onboarding and guarantee

We help with onboarding, and if the hire leaves within the guarantee period we provide a free replacement.

AI interviews everyone first, so the candidates who reach you are a better fit

Before we recommend any candidate, AI first conducts an initial interview based on your job requirements, and then a consultant reviews the results. What you receive is not a stack of resumes but candidates who have already been screened and organized.

01

Candidates who better fit your needs

We interview against your job requirements and filter out candidates who don't fit early on.

02

Faster

Candidates can complete their interview anytime without waiting for a slot, so recommendations move faster.

03

Fewer deals falling through late in the process

Pay, start date, and working conditions are confirmed up front, so there are fewer surprises after the interview.

04

Foreign-language skills actually verified

For jobs that need Japanese or English, we check language ability during the interview stage, not just by looking at certificates.

05

Fully compliant and confidential

Interviews comply with Taiwan's Employment Service Act; for confidential openings, the company name is not disclosed.

06

One report to understand the candidate

Every recommended candidate comes with an interview report, so key points, strengths, and open questions are clear at a glance.

FAQ

If a retained search does not result in a hire, do we have to pay?+
Permanent recruitment and executive search are mostly on a success-fee basis, so in principle there is no charge unless a candidate is placed and starts work. Actual fees follow the terms agreed in the engagement contract.
Is there a guarantee period or 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.
How are staffing fees calculated?+
Staffing is quoted based on headcount, job duties and scope of service. Fees are explained clearly during discussions and written into the contract — a transparent process with no hidden costs. Contact us on LINE for an initial quote.
When is commissioned recruitment the right fit?+
Retained recruitment is a good fit when a role must be kept confidential (replacing a sitting executive, or key hires ahead of a reorganization), when the people you want are currently employed and won't apply on their own, or when your in-house HR team is stretched and needs to outsource.
Not sure which option to choose?+
