Before founding Sterlyk.com, I spent three years in corporate development and finance integration roles inside PE-backed dental platforms, including D4C Dental Brands and Mosaic Dental Collective. I built provider compensation structures and worked on post-close integration finance — the same operating environment my clients hire for today. I know what the work involves, and I screen for it directly.

No. A vetted shortlist is delivered before any fee is owed. If the shortlist is not the right fit, you have paid nothing.
Yes. If a placed candidate resigns, or is terminated for documented performance reasons, within their first 90 days, I run one replacement search with no additional placement fee. It is subject to the conditions in the agreement, including timely payment of the original invoice and written notice within five business days.
Yes. A short Recruiting Services Agreement sets out the 20% fee on base salary, payment due 15 days after the candidate's first day, the replacement guarantee, and a 12-month introduction period, which means a candidate I introduce is covered for 12 months. I am happy to send it over before we start.

The agreement also includes a 90-day replacement guarantee. My own background is on the finance side of PE-backed dental platforms, so I screen for the roles I am recruiting into.
