For the owner still doing the work
Fill the seat in two weeks, without becoming an employer.
Three or four screened people land in your inbox. You interview them, you pick one, and Ataraxis employs them and runs the payroll. The work leaves your desk inside two weeks.
- Screened candidates
- Full-time, your hours
- Can start in one to two weeks
Why the seat is still open
A job ad can bring replies. It cannot do the hiring work for you.
The shortlist
Too few worth a call
Replies are thin, and the few promising applicants still take time to assess.
The decision
Local hiring feels like a lot
Local hiring adds wages, taxes and benefits for work that may not need your building.
The cost today
The work still lands on you
You screen, chase references, then finish the work yourself late at night.
It is not a hiring problem. It is a sourcing problem.
