FAQs: Fresh Answers, Straight from the Source
How is Direct Hire different from Managed Talent?
With Direct Hire, you take full ownership after hiring. Coconut sources, vets, and matches candidates, but you handle payroll, benefits, and management once the hire is made.
What types of roles can I hire through Direct Hire?
We fill roles in admin, marketing, operations, design, and tech. If the work can be done remotely, we can find the right fit.
How much is the placement fee?
Placement fees start at $3,500 per hire. Unlike traditional recruiters that charge 15 to 30 percent or more of an annual salary, Coconut keeps pricing transparent and affordable with a single flat fee.
How does the 40-hour free trial work?
You’ll work directly with your chosen candidate for up to 40 hours before paying the placement fee. It’s a real test of skills, communication, and fit, completely risk-free.
What’s included in the placement fee?
Our flat fee covers sourcing, vetting, interviews, coordination, and the 40-hour free trial. It also includes a 60–90 day guarantee with one free replacement if the hire doesn’t work out.
What happens if the hire doesn’t work out?
No problem. You’re covered by our 60–90 day replacement guarantee. Coconut will source and replace your hire at no extra cost.
How fast can I hire through Coconut?
Most roles are filled within 15 to 30 days from the initial brief, depending on complexity and availability. Specialized or niche roles may take longer.
Can I adjust my hire from full-time to part-time later?
Yes, as long as both parties agree. Since you manage the hire directly, you can adjust hours, pay, and terms as needed.
Where is your talent based?
Our network spans the Philippines, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and beyond, giving you access to global professionals aligned with your goals.
Do you provide ongoing support after the hire?
Since this is a Direct Hire engagement, ongoing support and payroll management are handled by you. However, Coconut remains available for post-hire guidance or future hiring needs.
