Question 1

Does HireGummy have experience placing specialists in regulated industries like health supplements or healthcare?

Accepted Answer

Yes. HireGummy has placed specialists with clients in regulated and compliance-sensitive sectors, including a healthcare practice that hired a full-time marketing specialist and a part-time branding specialist. For industries like health supplements, pharmaceuticals or therapeutic goods, we run a focused search for candidates with relevant regulatory and compliance experience rather than pulling from a general shortlist.

Question 2

Can I get client references before hiring through HireGummy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can share video testimonials and client reviews, and where clients have given consent, we can connect you directly with a current HireGummy client for a reference call. Because our clients' time and privacy matter to us, we confirm consent before sharing any contact details.

Question 3

How does HireGummy assess a candidate's technical skills before shortlisting?

Accepted Answer

Every candidate goes through structured screening covering domain-specific technical questions, a review of past campaign or project work, and a practical task relevant to the role. Candidates also complete two rounds of interviews with our HR team before being shortlisted to a client, so only genuinely qualified specialists reach the interview stage.

Question 4

Does HireGummy verify candidate certifications and employment history?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our HR team verifies certifications, qualifications and employment history for every candidate. For full-time placements, we also obtain a clearance letter from the candidate's previous employer as part of the verification process.

Question 5

What happens if my HireGummy specialist doesn't work out?

Accepted Answer

If a placement genuinely isn't working out due to skill or fit issues, HireGummy provides a free replacement with no additional recruitment fee. Our screening process includes multiple interview rounds and a live presentation, so replacements are rare and usually only needed when client expectations weren't aligned upfront.

Question 6

What support does HireGummy provide during the probation period?

Accepted Answer

Every client is assigned a dedicated Client Success Manager who runs regular check-ins with both the client and the specialist during the first month, to catch and resolve any issues early. This ongoing support continues for the life of the placement, not just probation.

Question 7

How are performance and KPIs managed after placement?

Accepted Answer

Once a specialist starts, they build a detailed strategy using your actual business data, and you agree on monthly KPIs together. Performance from that point is measured against agreed targets rather than guesswork from the interview stage.

Question 8

What are HireGummy's fees?

Accepted Answer

HireGummy charges a small one-off search fee to begin the process, which ensures we only screen candidates for clients who are ready to move forward. From there, a straightforward monthly rate covers the specialist's salary, payroll, tax and ongoing account management.

Question 9

Is my specialist employed directly by my business, or by HireGummy?

Accepted Answer

Your specialist is employed directly by HireGummy, not by your business. HireGummy is responsible for payroll, tax, and all statutory employment obligations, while you manage the specialist's day-to-day work, similar to managing any other team member.

Question 10

How does the monthly payment process work?

Accepted Answer

You pay HireGummy a single monthly invoice covering the specialist's salary and our management fee. HireGummy then handles payment to the specialist directly, so you never need to run separate payroll for your remote staff.

Question 11

Does HireGummy issue tax invoices?

Accepted Answer

Yes, HireGummy issues a compliant tax invoice for every payment, including the initial search fee and the ongoing monthly rate.

Question 12

What does the HireGummy Service Agreement cover?

Accepted Answer

The Service Agreement sets out both parties' responsibilities, fees and payment terms, confidentiality, intellectual property ownership, replacement guarantee, probation terms, termination rights and notice periods. We provide the agreement for review before any payment is made, so there are no surprises later.
