What a 90-day staffing check-in is actually for
Placement is not the finish line. The first ninety days are where fit either compounds or quietly fails.

Most agencies disappear after the invoice. That is when the real risk shows up.
A 90-day check-in is not a courtesy call. It is a structured look at delivery, communication, and whether the brief still matches the work. Replacement guarantees on permanent placements only matter if someone is watching for early drift.
What we review
Is the person shipping against the original outcomes?
Are blockers coming from role design or from capability?
Has the team context changed enough to require a reset?
Why operators care
COOs and founders do not need more candidates. They need fewer expensive misses. Ongoing support after placement is how we keep the hire honest for both sides.
Tell us the role. We will tell you who is ready, and we will still be there when week six gets hard.
