Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if F5 does not deliver a shortlist within 14 days?
If F5 does not deliver a qualified candidate shortlist within 14 business days, your first week of service is free. This guarantee applies to all standard roles across all industries.
Is there a fee to replace a professional who is not a good fit?
No. F5 replaces any placed professional at zero cost, anytime during the engagement. Replacement candidates are typically presented within 7-14 business days.
Does F5 require a long-term contract or minimum commitment?
No. F5 has no minimum commitment, no long-term contracts, and no termination fees. You can scale up or down at any time with 30 days notice.
Does the 14-business-day guarantee apply to specialized or senior roles?
The guarantee covers standard roles across all industries. For specialized or senior placements (e.g., F5 ChipTalent semiconductor roles, executive-level positions), F5 sets specific timeline expectations during the initial brief - the spirit of the guarantee, speed and accountability, applies to every engagement.
What counts as 'qualified' in a shortlist?
Every candidate F5 presents has cleared the 3-stage vetting process - technical skills assessment, in-depth technical interview, and culture and communication fit evaluation. Each is full-time available, ready to start within 30 days, and specifically matched to the role brief F5 wrote with the client during discovery.
How does F5 ensure quality when the timeline is fast?
F5 sources from 85,500+ candidates in our internal sourcing and screening database - pre-vetted before any client brief arrives. The 7-14 business day shortlist is a curated subset of that pool, not a rushed search. Every candidate has already cleared 3-stage vetting before reaching client review.
