Fill time. Replacement SLA. Compliance pack. Everything else a staffing company says about itself is unverifiable.
Day-7 median for standard blue-collar roles; 9–14 days for skilled trades. Published on every industry page, not quoted differently to every prospect.
On active mandates, with no fresh sourcing fee. Written into the mandate letter, not offered verbally.
Challans, registers and returns shared every month — before you ask, and before an inspection asks.
