Guaranteed
Career-to-Launch, Direct Hire, and Elite each include six months of hiring protection. The programs work differently, but the commitment is consistent: Katapult shares the hiring risk and stands behind the match.
Flagship program
Evaluate fit in the role before making the hire permanent.
Katapult sources, recruits, and prepares early-career talent, then employs the selected candidate while they work on your team. You see how the match performs in the real role before deciding whether to convert the candidate to your payroll.
Best for: Employers who want to evaluate a candidate in the actual role before making a permanent hiring decision.
Hire directly from day one—with protection behind the match.
Katapult manages sourcing and recruiting, and the candidate joins your payroll from day one. You get the same SPARK-informed, human-led recruiting approach without an evaluation period or ongoing candidate support.
Best for: Employers ready to make a direct hire from the start.
Run a more focused search for a harder-to-fill role.
For entry-level or early-career roles with a narrower profile or more limited candidate pool, Katapult Elite adds a more selective, intensive search.
Best for: Employers hiring for a tightly defined role or a limited early-career candidate pool.
The Katapult Approach
A resume tells you where someone has been. It rarely shows how an entry-level candidate is naturally wired to contribute.
That is why every candidate in every Katapult hiring program completes our proprietary SPARK assessment before the first recruiting conversation. SPARK gives our recruiters a richer starting point—but it is not a shortcut or a substitute for thoughtful recruiting.
Our recruiters interpret those insights, conduct in-depth conversations, explore the candidate’s experience, accomplishments, motivations, working style, and goals, then compare that fuller picture with the role, the team, and the employer’s definition of success. It is a rigorous, human-led process designed to bring forward candidates for a clear, considered reason.
We learn what the role requires, how the team works, and what the right person will need to contribute.
We combine SPARK insights with the candidate's experience and recruiter conversations to understand how that person is naturally wired to contribute.
We connect what the role needs with what we have learned about the candidate, so every person reaches your team for a clear, considered reason.
The Katapult Standard
Entry-level hiring is our specialty. Before a candidate reaches your team, they have completed our proprietary SPARK assessment and met with a Katapult recruiter who understands both the person and the opportunity. We combine those insights with experience, conversations, and the needs of your role, so the candidates we bring forward come with more context, more intention, and a clearer reason for the match.
Entry-level hiring expertise
Your internal team recruits across the business. Katapult stays focused on entry-level and early-career talent, giving you specialized recruiting capacity for the roles you need to fill again and again.
People who communicate clearly, solve problems, and create reliable experiences for customers, clients, and internal teams.
Organized, dependable professionals who coordinate details, support teams, and keep everyday work moving.
Detail-minded professionals who work accurately, think analytically, and follow through with the numbers.
Relationship-builders who earn trust, follow through, and create opportunities for lasting growth.
Once we understand the roles you need, choosing how to work together is straightforward.
Your next entry-level hire
Give your internal team the advantage of Katapult’s experienced recruiters, proprietary SPARK assessment, and deep specialization in entry-level hiring. Spend less time sorting through maybes—and more time meeting candidates brought forward for a clear reason.
