• How We Charge*
*And how are we different from our competition?

Continuity:
Whether your need is immediate or if you have the time to interview, we will make sure you have the right worker for your job. We don't send a 'warm body' to fill a shift! You hire the worker you want and that person works directly for you.

Experience:
We are a private referral service representing experienced workers. The workers we send you have a minimum of 4* years of recent, verifiable professional experience. No other service in the Seattle area demands as much professional experience of its workers. *A minimum 5 years of experience is required for health care workers.

References:
References are checked in our office and are available for you to review. We verify work history by asking detailed questions to get as clear a picture of that person's reliability, skill level and personality as possible. We are happy to provide you with a candidate's paperwork - including references, letters of reference and license verification - before you hire.

Background Checks:
We run a WA State Patrol criminal background check and also verify that a worker is not listed on the WA State APS registry, and we do a multi-state criminal history check for any caregiver who has lived outside of WA during the past 7 years.

Paying the worker - Options:
You may pay the worker directly, or we can refer you to a local, independent payroll service, which will handle all paperwork for you (such as setting up a Federal I.D. number, completing quarterly reports and even writing checks if needed). It's all very easy!

Fee:
We charge a placement fee for our service: it is equal to a percentage of the first month's salary, and does not continue beyond the first month. Ask about our Replacement Guarantee.

Managing Your Case:
If needed, we can refer you to a private Care Manager who can assist you by setting up a team and/or overseeing your workers. We regularly work with a number of local professionals who can often help streamline the hiring and management process.
