How a search runs

Four steps to a signed contract.

Step 1
Briefing

A call about the role, the team, the salary range and your interview process.

Step 2
Search and interviews

Danel approaches candidates directly and interviews each one. Every CV is compared with the interview before it is sent.

Step 3
Shortlist

You receive the profiles with the salary expectation and notice period of each candidate.

Step 4
Interviews and offer

Kodr schedules the interviews, passes on feedback from both sides and supports the offer until the contract is signed.

The fee is due only when a candidate signs. Until then the search costs you nothing.
