Why employers stay with us

The fit matters more than the resume.

We brief properly, vet thoroughly, and stand behind the people we send.

One named partner

The partner who takes your brief is the one who sources, submits, supports the offer and follows up post-start. No call-center handoffs.

5-7 day submission

Most live briefs receive their first qualified submission within a week. Specialty briefs may take longer, we will tell you upfront.

Replacement guarantee

Every permanent placement carries a free replacement period. If a hire does not stick, we re-run the search at no charge.

Vetted, not just sourced

Background, references, work history, motivation - all verified before submission. No noise.

Confidential by default

For replacement-of-incumbent or pre-announce searches, we run blind shortlists and only reveal client identity at offer stage.

Built for retention

The brief, the vetting, the offer support and the day-7 / 30 / 90 follow-ups, all built around hires that stay on the floor.

How we work

From first call to first day, taken seriously.

A clear four-step process. No drawn-out kick-offs, no dropped balls.

01

The brief

A 30-minute call. We capture the role, the team, the must-haves, the pay band and the timeline. Written brief returned.

02

Vetted submission

Background, references, motivation - all checked. Two to five candidates per brief with our written notes.

03

Offer support

We coordinate the offer, manage counter-offer pressure and line up the start date so the offer holds.

04

Onboarding follow-up

Day 7, 30 and 90 check-ins with both sides. We close the loop on every hire we place.

How a 3 Twelve brief actually runs

Light industrial and operational hiring has its own rhythm. The submission matters more than the volume. Reliability, work history and the willingness to actually turn up Monday decide whether a warehouse associate or an industrial maintenance tech is still on the firm at six months. Generalist agencies miss the signals.

Pay calibration before we start

Every submission is calibrated against current US wage data plus what we are seeing live across the desk this month. Light-industrial pay differs by region. If the band looks low for the role and the market, we will tell you before we start.

Reference checks that matter

We talk to the supervisor or floor lead, not just HR. We ask the questions that matter on the floor: did they show up, did they finish, did they cause friction? The answers tell us whether the candidate is a six-month hire.

What we deliberately do not cover

White-collar professional services, executive search and clinical healthcare sit best with sector specialists. We will tell you within one call if we are not the right fit.
