Screening fees count towards the end-to-end fee if you take the role further.
How recruitment worksWhat if nobody’s any good?
Then we say so, and tell you why: the brief, the ad, or where it ran. That’s still the answer you paid for, and the fee stands. Better to know in 48 hours than after six weeks of interviews. If it was the ad, we can rewrite and run it as Screening Plus for a further $2,000.
Is there a guarantee?
Screening doesn’t carry one: we tell you what we found and why. With Screening Plus, if none of the candidates we send is worth interviewing, tell us within 5 business days of the last pack and we re-run the ad once, at our cost. The shortlist guarantee and the replacement guarantee come with a full search. If you move to a full search after screening, the replacement guarantee applies, but the shortlist guarantee doesn’t.
When does the 48 hours start?
From your written confirmation that the last application has been sent. It’s a target, not a guarantee, and it pauses while we wait on answers from you. With Screening Plus, our target for the first pack is 72 hours from the ad going live.
Is there a limit on applications?
No. The fee is flat however many there are. If there are many times more than you told us, we agree the position with you in writing before doing more.
Can you screen a role you’re already recruiting for us?Screening a role Talyn is running?
No. Screening is for roles you’re running yourself. If a role is already under a Talyn search, the search covers it.
What happens to my applicants’ details?What happens to applicant data?
We assess them as your service provider, under the Privacy Act and our privacy policy. Applications are uploaded to our own system. We keep a record of each application, as set out in our privacy policy, and we don’t contact anyone about your role unless you ask us to take it on. With Screening Plus, applicants apply to us, and we collect their details under our own privacy policy.
Do you use AI?
Yes. Applications are read by technology we built and host locally. It doesn’t decide who we put forward: every shortlist is reviewed by a senior recruiter.
