Why now
They are already employed, and nobody is reaching them. Postings only reach the few who are looking.
The old way
The Tellus way
How it works
From first touch to real results, without the guesswork.
Your job brief becomes a structured search: skills, tools, shift, site and clearance.
The engine finds every qualified person within reach of your site, not just active applicants.
Each person is approached in their own context, with follow-ups, until they respond.
Real screening conversations, then a Tellus recruiter verifies tools, shift, intent and rate.
Scheduling, offers and start dates handled by the same team. No hand-offs.
What it does
Sourcing runs on Kandidate, the engine we operate in-house. Judgment stays with a Tellus recruiter who has worked these floors.
Plans
No retainer and no separate search fee. Nothing is owed until someone starts.
Flat 15%of salary, per placement
On a $120,000 role that is $18,000, versus $26,400 at a typical 22% agency fee. A difference of $8,400 per hire.
Priced per rolecontingent staffing
Priced by the role, the engagement type and the market for that skill. A five-minute call gets a real number.
Common questions
Sourcing and first-pass screening run on Kandidate, the AI engine we operate in-house, instead of on a recruiter's contact list. It maps the whole qualified market, reaches candidates directly and works continuously. It hands our recruiters a ranked starting point, not an answer; every shortlist is verified by a Tellus recruiter before it reaches you.
Agencies work from a rolodex and bill for the search effort. We map the whole market and are accountable for the hire. Our recruiters spend their time on judgment calls rather than manual sourcing, so the same team carries far more roles and moves faster.
A verified shortlist of three to five people typically inside days, not weeks. If a role is not fillable at the rate or in the location you need, you hear that from us in the first week rather than after a quarter.
Yes. We already deliver inside Magnit and KellyOCG programs, so adding Tellus is a supplier addition, not a procurement project. We are also a certified diverse supplier (MBE through NMSDC, plus SBE and DBE), which counts toward supplier-diversity goals.
No. We are specialists by industry, not by job family. Inside semiconductor, test and measurement, aerospace and defense electronics, medical devices and automation and robotics we fill the whole organisation: technicians and engineers on the floor and the quality, supply chain, finance, HR and IT roles behind them.
Direct hire is a flat 15% placement fee. Contract is priced by the role, the engagement type and the market for that skill. There is no retainer or search fee and nothing is owed until someone starts. A five-minute call gets a real number.
We tell you early rather than run out the clock. If a role is not fillable at the rate or in the location you need, that is useful information and you get it in the first week.
