FAQ'S
We’ve perfected this model in other industries. We maintain a high tech, low corporate overhead structure and operate on very thin margins. We are also very selective on who we allow into the program. We’re seeking experienced, proven producers who don’t require a lot of oversight and support. We don’t need layers of expensive management. We maintain enough corporate personnel to service our recruiters needs.
No. We are not a franchise. There are no franchise fees.
No promises but we understand there are sometimes unique situations that need to be considered. Give us a call to discuss.
No. We pay out the maximum possible while still being able to stay in business.
Yes, as long as you’re able to provide a twelve month history of sufficient production.
We believe you will love our Applicant Tracking System. We utilize Loxo which is an industry leading, awesome ATS. Some of the biggest names in the industry (including Tim Sackett, Stacy Donovan Zapar, Lars Schmidt and Paul DeBettignies) utilize Loxo. Included in the subscription we provide is Loxo Source, a proprietary database of 550 million people.
Here are some links about the system:

Yes. We pay a $500.00 fee for each recruiter that is referred by you (note- they must list your name on their employment application) once we are paid for their first placement.
You can be activated in as little as 48 hours after we receive your application and proof of past 12 months billing.
No. Recruiting is arguably the toughest sales gig going, and being in a commission driven environment is very stressful. Recruiting/sales in this environment is not ideal for everyone however there are also tremendous financial rewards being a successful recruiter.
No. You will be a bona fide W-2 employee of Carlyle Search Group. You will not have to pay self-employment tax or deal with any of the administrative work of being self-employed.
We are not permitted to provide legal advice. If you executed a non-compete and/or a non-solicitation agreement, we recommend you have an attorney review its validity. Many jurisdictions have ruled these agreements to be invalid depending on how broad the restrictions are.
If it is determined that you have executed a valid, binding agreement with a previous employer, we expect you to abide by the terms.
We run payroll twice per month except in those states that require a more frequent payroll schedule.
Yes. Health, dental, vision, 401k, life insurance, etc. Contact us for specific details on coverage, costs, etc.
If you’re asking this question, you probably don’t understand our model. We are paying out the maximum we can while still being able to keep our doors open. If you need fully paid benefits and someone holding your hand, there are plenty of companies that you can go (and they will be happy to pay you 30%). We’d rather give you all the money and let you decide how you’ll spend it.
Understanding that the maximum we pay out is 70%, we can offer a salary or draw if you have a track record of production. Please call us to discuss.
While we do maintain call scripts that you can utilize, we hope you’re already utilizing an effective script and (unless it’s your previous company property) will continue to use the script while at Carlyle.
Yes. As a bona fide W-2 employee, we withhold the required federal, state and local taxes and pay them to the applicable government agencies. We will have you fill out a federal (and state if applicable) withholding forms directing us how much to withhold.
Yes…we actually prefer this as it helps automate our processes and reduces our costs.
Yes. We cover these types of benefits in our employee handbook and most importantly we adhere to all federal and state requirements. Understand, however that meeting (and hopefully far exceeding) the minimum annual production requirements is what we’re focused on. If you’re meeting your goals, we are likely not going to have an issue if you wish to take a month off to travel the world (for example). We’re easy. Do the right thing, adhere to laws, work hard and play hard.
