Permanent Hires

Permanent hiring is the costliest decision in your recruitment budget. Get it wrong and you’re paying for it twice — in fees, lost time, and damaged momentum. We make sure you only pay once.

We hire with your reality in mind

Permanent hiring isn’t just about “finding someone.” It’s about protecting you from the mess that comes with getting it wrong — missed deadlines, frustrated teams, and the déjà vu of filling the same role twice.

Team fit across time, not just today. That means finding people who:

  • Understand your past — so they respect the history, systems, and lessons that got you here.
  • Acknowledge your present — so they can operate effectively in your current reality, with all its constraints and priorities.
  • Adapt to your future — so when your business shifts (and it will), they have the agility, mindset, and skill growth to move with it.

This isn’t just about “culture fit” — it’s about culture durability. Because your permanent hires need to perform now and still be relevant in two, three, five years.

REAL LIFE CASE STUDY

The worst-rated company on glassdoor come to Substance not out of desperation,
but because they know we’ll deliver.

They don’t choose Substance because they’ve run out of options — they choose us because they know we’ll fill the role. We understand that some positions aren’t for everyone, and some environments need a very specific type of person to succeed.


We don’t push the wrong candidates through. We’re upfront about the realities, so the people we place walk in prepared — and stay because they’re the right fit.


That’s why, when the hire is high-stakes or “impossible,” companies call Substance first.
