Question 1

Is it free for job seekers to use Exzelon?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every part of the service is free for candidates. Searching roles, creating a profile, uploading a resume, speaking to a recruiter, and applying through Exzelon costs you nothing, and we never charge a placement fee to the people we place. We are paid by the employers who hire through us, which is how staffing agencies have always worked. That also shapes how we operate: because our fee depends on a placement lasting, it is in our interest to match you to a role that genuinely fits — the right shift, the right setting, and pay that reflects your experience — rather than to push you toward the first opening that appears. If you are comparing agencies, treat a request for payment from a candidate as a red flag.

Question 2

Which industries do you recruit for?

Accepted Answer

We recruit across twelve specialist sectors: Healthcare, Construction, Electrical, Engineering, Manufacturing, Information Technology, Finance, Accounting, Tax & Legal, Administrative, Marketing, and Distribution. Each one has dedicated recruiters rather than generalists, because the credentials, licensing, and hiring norms differ enormously between them — a travel nurse, a journeyman electrician, and a staff accountant are screened against completely different standards. In practice that means the person you speak to already knows which certifications matter in your field, which employers are hiring, and what the role you are applying for typically pays. If your background sits between two of these — controls engineering, clinical administration, or logistics finance, for example — say so when you get in touch and we will point you to the recruiters who see that kind of role most often.

Question 3

How quickly can I be placed?

Accepted Answer

Our average time-to-offer is around nine days, and travel or contract roles often move faster because we work from pools of candidates who are already vetted and ready to start. The honest caveat is that timelines vary by role: senior and specialist positions, or any role carrying licensing and credentialing requirements, take longer than the average because verification has to run its course. What compresses the timeline most is your own readiness. A complete profile, an up-to-date resume, references you have already alerted, and current licences or certifications mean we can put you in front of an employer the moment the right role appears instead of chasing documents afterwards. Tell your recruiter your earliest realistic start date and any notice period — that single detail prevents most last-minute surprises at offer stage.

Question 4

Do you offer travel and contract assignments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alongside permanent, direct-hire placements we place people into contract, temp-to-hire, part-time, and travel assignments. Travel roles are most common in healthcare, where assignments are typically fixed-term and location-variable, and we support travellers with the logistics that make those contracts workable — housing coordination and the licensing and credentialing steps that have to be completed before a first shift. Contract and temp-to-hire engagements suit people who want to test a setting before committing, or who prefer to move between projects rather than settle into one employer. For employers, they are a way to cover a peak or a hard-to-fill gap without a permanent commitment. If you are open to more than one arrangement, tell your recruiter which you would consider and in what order — it widens the range of roles we can bring to you.

Question 5

How do you handle licensing and compliance?

Accepted Answer

Compliance is handled before you reach an interview, so nothing stalls at the offer. It starts with primary-source verification of your professional licence and any certifications your field requires, followed by background and reference checks in line with the employer's requirements and the standards of the sector. For anyone working in the United States we complete I-9 and right-to-work verification. In construction and electrical roles we also track OSHA and site-safety certifications, since those are checked at the gate on most job sites. Everything is kept current and audit-ready, which matters in healthcare and other regulated settings where an expired credential can stop a placement outright. Our compliance team manages the paperwork so that you are cleared to start on day one rather than chasing documents through your first week.

Question 6

I'm an employer — how do I start hiring with Exzelon?

Accepted Answer

Start by telling us what you are hiring for. The fastest route is the request form on our For Clients page, which asks for the roles, quantity, location, timeline, and any must-have credentials; you can also call or email us directly. A sector-specialist recruiter — not a generalist — then arranges a short intake call to understand the role, the team, and what a strong candidate looks like in your context. From there we work from pre-vetted talent pools and active networks, screen for skills, credentials, and fit, and send you a shortlist of people who are genuinely qualified rather than a stack of resumes. We manage the offer, onboarding, and compliance paperwork through to day one. Because we are paid on successful placement, the intake call costs you nothing and commits you to nothing.
