We are fundamentally recruiters, but what makes us different is our HR lens. We do not just match skills to job descriptions. We look at the full picture of how a person fits into your team, culture, and long-term goals.

That HR perspective shapes everything we do. It means we ask better questions, anticipate challenges, and think about retention from the start. Our goal is not simply to fill a role but to strengthen the organization behind it.

The “HR” in our name reflects how we approach hiring as part of a broader people strategy. We help companies build strong teams through direct hire, retained and embedded recruitment, executive search, and contingent workforce solutions.

Beyond hiring, we partner on people strategy such as career pathing, workforce planning, and learning and development. Our focus is the human side of business: finding, growing, and keeping great people.

Saltera HR exists because people matter. That belief shapes how we hire, how we advise, and how we show up for every client.

We focus on advanced manufacturing, life sciences, technology, and professional services — from skilled technical professionals to executive leadership.

Our process is high-touch, data-driven, and rooted in genuine partnership. We act as an extension of your team, not just a vendor.

Every search requires a thorough intake and candidates are thoroughly vetted to include two interviews, verifications, and reference checks.

It starts with a detailed intake conversation to align on the must-haves, cultural fit, and timeline. We then launch a targeted search, manage outreach, screen thoroughly, and present only the most qualified candidates, along with transparent feedback and consistent communication throughout.

We offer multiple options:

• Direct hire (percentage of annual salary)

  • This can be done via installment plan or upfront.

• Retained/embedded partnerships (monthly engagement)

• Executive search (deposit-based)

• Contingent staffing (hourly payroll + markup)

• Payrolling (hourly payroll + limited markup)

Yes. We often manage discreet executive and leadership searches, protecting your brand and candidate privacy through non-disclosure and controlled outreach.

No, because partnerships are not a one-size-fits-all. Our fees vary based on the level of service and role type, but we believe in complete transparency.

• Direct Hire: Typically ranges from 15%–30% of the candidate’s first-year salary, depending on the role level, volume, payment structure.

• Retained / Embedded Recruitment: Structured as a monthly engagement fee, customized to your volume and hiring goals.

• Executive Search: Requires an initial deposit, with total fees quoted based on scope, confidentiality, and resources required.

• Contingent Staffing / Payrolling: Markups generally fall between 45%–55% on top of the payrate to cover taxes, insurance, statutory and administrative costs.

Our placements include a defined backfill guarantee period. If a candidate leaves within that window, we’ll refill the role at no additional cost under the terms of your agreement.

We’re headquartered in Arizona, supporting clients and candidates nationwide.
