Employer FAQs

Working With V3

Is there a fee to use V3 services?

V3 operates as a contingent search firm. There's no upfront fee to engage with us — we're paid only upon the successful completion of a search, typically when the candidate accepts the position.

What is a contingent search firm?

A contingent search firm is paid only upon the successful completion of a search — typically when the candidate accepts the position. Until then, our team is sourcing, vetting, and submitting candidates at no cost to you.

What are the benefits of working with a contingent search firm?

You get the full benefit of our recruiting team's tools, sourcing networks, and job board subscriptions without an upfront commitment. We engage with each employer from the search launch through candidate acceptance, so you get continuous support without paying for a retained search.

How are placement fees structured?

Because we specialize in healthcare and accounting & finance placements, our placement fee structure may differ from a general contingent search firm's retained-search fee. We operate on a case-by-case basis to deliver a customized fee structure that fits your specific needs.

The Hiring Process

How long does it take to fill a role?

Our typical turnaround on qualified candidate submissions is 48 hours. Total time-to-hire depends on the complexity of the role, your interview process, and decision speed on your side — but we move fast, and we'll be straight with you about realistic timelines during the kickoff call.

What happens after I send you a job description?

A V3 recruiter will reach out within one business day to schedule a brief kickoff call. We'll learn the role, the team, the systems, and the must-haves, then begin sourcing from our pre-vetted talent pool. You'll typically see qualified candidate submissions within 48 hours.

What if my role doesn't fit one of your five specialties?

Reach out anyway. While we focus on RCM, HIM/Coding, Accounting & Finance, IT, and Executive Search, we have an extensive network and may still be able to help — or refer you to a partner firm who can.

Can I work with V3 confidentially?

Yes. Whether you're conducting a confidential executive search or simply prefer that your search isn't publicly visible, we handle every engagement with discretion. No public job postings unless you authorize them.

Compliance & Logistics

How do you handle compliance?

We're compliant with FLSA, Affordable Care Act, and OSHA standards. We follow a robust safety policy when training each consultant before they're placed in your organization, and we verify I-9 compliance to ensure that every candidate is legally entitled to work for your company.

How does payroll and insurance work for placed consultants?

For our consulting (W-2) placements, V3 handles payroll, taxes, and insurance on a state-by-state basis. You don't have to worry about onboarding paperwork, payroll setup, or compliance — we manage all of it. Direct-hire placements transition to your payroll on their start date.

What is V3's credibility in the market?

We're backed by a national recruiting infrastructure, which means we meet payroll consistently, handle insurance and tax on a state-by-state basis, and have back-office support for special situations. Our founding partners bring 60+ years of combined staffing experience.

About V3

What are V3's organizational values?

We're driven by the relentless pursuit of excellence and guided by integrity and diligence in our support of healthcare organizations and finance teams. We take the time to diagnose each situation to build trust with your organization — we ensure a complete understanding of your actual needs before we propose a labor solution.

How is V3 different from other healthcare staffing firms?

Most staffing firms try to be everything to everyone. We've built V3 around two practice areas where we have real depth — healthcare (the business side) and accounting & finance — with experienced recruiters who know each specialty cold. The result: faster fills, better-fit candidates, and a recruiting partner who actually understands your business.
