[ For employers ]
Hire project managers who've already run a year of projects
Our graduates have planned, bought, scheduled, reported, recovered and shipped, in the tools your teams use, with every document reviewed against a written standard. Meeting them is free. You pay a flat fee only when someone you hire starts.

[ How hiring works ]
Meet them free. Pay when they start
It works like a recruiter's fee, with three differences: it's flat rather than a share of salary, it's due only when your hire actually starts, and graduates stay free to work wherever they choose.

[ Our promise to graduates ]
Graduates first. Always
The fee is between your company and us. It never limits where a graduate can work, and it never comes out of their pocket. These promises are written into the agreement you sign.
Free to work anywhere
Graduates can apply for, accept, turn down or leave any job, with you or with anyone else. They never need our permission.
No exclusivity
Recruit from anywhere and hire anyone. Graduates who reach you on their own, without an introduction from us, carry no fee.
Never passed on
No pay deductions, lower offers, stay-or-pay agreements or clawbacks tied to our fee. It's yours to pay, not theirs.
No pressure, ever
We never ask a graduate to turn down, delay or leave a job, and never ask you to withdraw an offer because of a fee.
Disputes stay with us
If we ever disagree about a fee, we sort it out with you. Graduates are never asked to take part.
We'd rather waive it
If a fee is the only thing standing between a graduate and a job, tell us before you decide.

[ Employer FAQ ]
The fine print, in plain words
Everything here is in the Employer Terms, which take precedence.
When exactly is the fee due?
When a graduate you met through us starts work with you. We invoice on their start date, and the invoice is due within 15 days. If they accept your offer but never start, there's no fee.
What counts as meeting a graduate through you?
Meeting them at a Career Day (including seeing their presentation or portfolio), receiving their profile or portfolio from us, or being put in touch by us. The fee applies if they accept your offer within six months of the most recent of those.
What if a graduate applies to us on their own?
If you haven't met them through us, there's no fee. If they were already in your hiring process before we introduced them, tell us within 10 business days and there's no fee either.
Does the role or salary change the fee?
No. It's $5,000 for any paid role (full-time, part-time, contract or internship) at any salary. One fee per person, even if you later change their role or convert a contractor to an employee.
What if they leave soon after starting?
If they leave for any reason within 90 days of their start date, the fee becomes a credit toward your next hire from us, usable for 12 months.
Do graduates pay anything or sign anything with you?
No. The agreement is between your company and Gantt Guild only. Graduates never pay us, and you agree never to pass any part of the fee on to them.
Is there a contract, a retainer or a minimum?
There's a one-page order form that refers to our Employer Terms. No retainer, no minimum number of hires and no exclusivity.
How does Graduate Support work?
It continues the graduate's training for 6 to 12 months after they join you: weekly training alongside the job, monthly one-to-one coaching on your tools and methods, and check-ins with their manager with a written progress note. It starts at $8,000 per graduate, invoiced at the start of the term. It's always optional.
