"We've hired three SLEP graduates over two cohorts. All three were contributing meaningfully within their first week. The zero-fee model and 90-day mentorship continuity made it a straightforward decision."
What does a faster, better hire actually save you?
The average cost of a mis-hire at junior to mid level is estimated at 1.5x annual salary when you factor in recruitment fees, onboarding time, lost productivity, and the reset cost. SLEP removes the uncertainty before the offer is made.
All SLEP placements include 90 days of continued mentorship from SmartChain at no additional cost to the hiring organization.
