Overview
Permanent Placement
Permanent placement is a direct-hire engagement: Langford Staffing presents a pre-screened shortlist of candidates for a role you intend to bring onto your own payroll. Our model is built for employers across the United States and Canada who need a reliable hiring pipeline without carrying a full in-house recruiting function. Each search begins with a structured intake to align on role scope, compensation band, must-have qualifications, and cultural fit. We then surface candidates through a combination of active sourcing, our existing candidate network, and targeted outreach.
Who it's for
Permanent Placement fits these situations.
- Employers replacing or adding a long-term role
- Companies expanding into new US or Canadian markets and building local headcount
- Teams that need disciplined screening without a full in-house recruiter
- Organizations with compliance-sensitive roles requiring careful vetting

In practice
Every permanent search runs the same way. A written brief. A short, vetted list. No résumé blasts. No surprises after the offer.
Engagement flow
How a permanent search runs from first call to start date.
Same process whether the role is volume hospitality or an executive search. The depth changes. The structure does not.
Day 0
We scope the role
Every permanent search starts with a 60 to 90 minute scoping call. Role, pay range, must-haves, timeline. We write it down.
Day 1 to 5
We tap our network
We work from bilingual candidate networks we keep warm in every metro we cover. We do not start from a blank page.
Day 5 to 10
You meet a short list
Three to five candidates with our notes on each. Never a résumé blast.
Day 10 onward
We support the first 30 days
We stay involved through the offer, the start date, and the first 30 days. Same recruiter the whole way.
- Same recruiter on the file from the first call through the first 30 days.
- Replacement terms in writing on day one, not bolted on after.
Compliance
Conducted under applicable US and Canadian employment law.
Every permanent engagement is structured to meet applicable federal, state, and provincial employment law in the relevant US or Canadian jurisdiction. Engagement-specific terms, replacement provisions, conversion paths, and cross-border considerations, are documented at intake.
What clients say
“Structured intake is what separates them. They ask the questions about the role, the team, and the operating cadence that the candidate will actually face. Placement quality reflects that homework.”
