How It Works

Four steps. No runaround.

We keep the process tight. You’ll talk to an experienced recruiter on day one — not a coordinator reading from a script.

01

Intake Call

A 30-minute conversation with Craig or Brian to understand the role, your team, and what “right” actually looks like. No intake forms. No ticket queues.

02

Candidate Sourcing

We tap networks built over two decades — passive candidates, referrals, and talent your internal team and job boards won’t surface. Quality over quantity, every time.

03

Curated Shortlist

You’ll see 3–5 pre-vetted candidates who actually match — skills, culture, comp expectations. No resume floods. No filler.

04

Offer & Guarantee

We help negotiate and close. Every placement comes with a 90-day replacement guarantee. If it doesn’t work out, we make it right — no questions asked.

Pricing Advantage

Better candidates. Better price.
That’s the whole pitch.

25–40%

less than competing agencies

Most agencies charge 20–30% of first-year salary and deliver recycled resumes from the same job boards you already use. We charge less and deliver more — because our sourcing doesn’t depend on job board spend. It depends on relationships.

  • No upfront retainers on contingency searches
  • Transparent fee structure — no surprises at offer stage
  • 90-day replacement guarantee on every placement
  • Experienced recruiter handles your search start to finish

Where We’ve Delivered

Real placements. Real results.

We don’t talk about hypotheticals. Here’s what New Gig Direct has actually done.

Tax & Finance

Ramped up two major national tax resolution firms

Built out recruiting pipelines and placed multiple professionals across both organizations — from tax preparers to senior leadership. These weren’t one-off hires. They were growth-stage buildouts.

Legal

National placements at a top debt consolidation law firm

Placed attorneys and support staff across multiple states for a highly reputable national firm. Roles ranged from client-facing positions to back-office operations — all sourced through our network.

Cybersecurity Law

Cybersecurity law attorney placements

Found and placed attorneys specializing in cybersecurity law — one of the hardest niches to recruit for. Our network and tenure made the difference. These aren’t candidates you’ll find on a job board.

Our Promise

Every placement. Guaranteed for 90 days.

If a placement doesn’t work out within the first 90 days, we replace the candidate at no additional cost. No questions asked. That’s how confident we are in who we send you.

Your Team

You’ll work directly with us. Not a call center.

Craig Kurtzman

President, New Gig Direct

Craig leads New Gig Direct with a growing team of recruiters behind him — but he’s on every search personally. With 20+ years in the staffing industry, he’s built the deep networks and relationships that let New Gig Direct surface candidates other agencies simply can’t reach. He specializes in tax, finance, and legal placements, and his tenure is why our placement success rate sits at 98.6%.

Brian Gabrielson

Founder & President, New Gig Solutions

Brian built New Gig Solutions after two decades of watching companies overpay for underqualified talent. He and Craig work seamlessly together — Brian brings the IT, engineering, and digital talent networks while Craig covers tax, finance, and legal. Together, they cover the full spectrum.
