Employer FAQs

  • We have candidates in our database seeking full-time, part-time, contract-based, in-office, hybrid, and/or remote positions with employers who value work/life balance.

  • No, we do not require exclusivity, and unless we’re working with you on retainer, a fee is payable only upon your hiring of a FoundHer candidate.

  • No, we do not grant employers access to our job seeker database for privacy reasons. However, once you give us a job to fill, FoundHer will source interested and qualified candidates based on your requirements. We will email you a select few candidate resumes to review and if you choose to move forward with a FoundHer candidate, we will set up the interviews and follow up with you during the interview and hiring process.

  • Two reasons:

    1) Posting within your own social media network can be an inefficient and ineffective avenue to find the best candidates. Your post might reach a few interested or qualified people, but that's only if these people happen to be in your network, checking that specific feed at that specific time, or regularly checking that specific feed for jobs. Likely, your post will not cast a wide enough net to find the unique talent that you are seeking, or you will be inundated with dozens of irrelevant resumes to review. FoundHer does the legwork for you: we focus on your hiring needs and curate a select group of resumes for you to review.

    2) Posting on online job boards can be overwhelming and frustrating. While an initial posting may be free, your small business will have to pay a fee for your posting to be seen on a regular basis. If you don’t pay that additional fee (and often even if you do), your post will be one of a million other job postings, and you will be inundated with hundreds of non-curated resumes for your one job opening. Without a dedicated HR team on hand, the process of reviewing hundreds of resumes can be a full time job in and of itself. FoundHer is like that friend who can cut through the noise and give you a great recommendation. We maintain a database of seasoned professionals who are often not seeking jobs through any other avenues, and we generally only send you two or three of the most relevant candidate resumes to review before interviewing. Let FoundHer find the best candidate for you!

  • Reviewing the resumes of the candidates we match you with and conducting interviews is free! If you ultimately choose to hire a FoundHer candidate, there is a fee.

  • No, we do not provide background or reference checks. However, upon request, we can recommend a reputable and reasonably-priced partner company that can service your background and reference check needs.
