Our Process
How It Works
Six stages. Full transparency. A 12-month guarantee at the end. Here's exactly what happens when you start a search with Colossus.
01
Day 1–3
Discovery Call
We learn your business, not just the job description.
02
Week 1–3
Targeted Sourcing
We go to the candidates who are already succeeding, not waiting on job boards.
03
Week 2–5
Screening & Assessment
Every candidate is evaluated before you see them, not after.
04
Week 5–9
Client Interviews
We structure your interview process so every round adds information.
05
Week 8–12
Offer & Close
We manage the offer process to get to yes, without leaving value on either side.
06
Ongoing
12-Month Guarantee
The search doesn't end at the offer, it ends at 12 months.
