How does the Frontline Source Group application process work?

Everything starts online, and it costs you nothing. You choose how you want to enter the process, a recruiter who works your discipline looks at your background, and if there is a fit, you talk through the role before anything is shared with an employer.

Should you search open jobs or upload your resume?

Either works, and many candidates do both. If you see a specific opening that fits, search our open jobs and apply to that role directly. You can also browse our recent placements to see the kinds of roles Frontline fills and apply from those pages. If you are open to a range of roles, upload your resume to the Frontline talent database so recruiters can match you to current and future searches. Both paths are on the how to apply page, and Microsoft Word or PDF resumes work best.

Who will contact you after you apply?

If your background matches an opening, your first call may come from a Frontline recruiter or from Lexi Reed, Frontline's AI recruiter, who conducts first-round phone interviews and passes her notes to the recruiting team. Dental candidates may hear from Melanie West, Frontline's AI dental recruiter. Your recruiter then talks with you about your goals, target pay, location, and the kinds of roles you want, and may set up a video interview.

Will your resume be sent anywhere without your permission?

No. Frontline never submits a resume to an employer without first contacting you and discussing the position. If there is no current match, your profile stays in the talent database, and a recruiter reaches out when a search fits your background.

Which Frontline recruiter will handle your job search?

Frontline recruiters specialize by discipline, so you are matched with the person working searches in your field, not a general intake desk. Here is what that means for you in each area:

• Accounting and finance: get guidance from a recruiter who has done the work. Kathy Granger is a Texas CPA with prior tenure at Arthur Andersen and Ernst and Young, and she works alongside Shelly Hubble, CSP, Senior Vice President of Operations, who holds the American Staffing Association's Certified Staffing Professional credential.
• Technology, legal, life sciences, and engineering: get matched by Cassidy Jacobs, Senior Executive Staffing Specialist, who brings 10 plus years in talent acquisition and partners directly with leadership teams nationwide.
• Human resources, administrative, HSE, and engineering: work with Lindsey Davidson, CDR, a Senior Lead Executive Recruiter and Certified Diversity Recruiter.
• Revenue cycle and customer service: get placed by Jessica Payne, Executive Recruiter, who works revenue cycle, healthcare billing, and customer service searches.
• Grocery, retail, and pharmacy: talk shop with Mike Cook, known as Grocery Store Mike, who spent 35 plus years in the grocery industry before moving into executive search.
• Digital marketing and brand: get matched by Brittany Kasko, Digital Marketing Executive Staffing Specialist, who focuses on marketing, brand, and SEO leadership roles.
• C-suite, energy, and dental leadership: be considered for executive searches led by Bill Kasko, who founded Frontline in 2004, together with Shelly Hubble.

Which disciplines does Frontline recruit for?

• Find contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire roles in accounting and finance, technology and IT, human resources, legal and paralegal, administrative and executive assistant, customer service and call center, engineering, and oil, gas, and energy.
• Be considered for leadership searches in pharmacy, dental, marketing, revenue cycle, life sciences, grocery and retail, aviation, cybersecurity, healthcare operations, and the C-suite.
• Take on part-time executive work through fractional C-suite engagements as a fractional CFO, controller, or COO.
• Browse dental openings in one place on Frontline Dental Jobs.

Does Frontline Source Group charge candidates a fee?

No. Frontline Source Group never charges candidates a fee. The hiring company pays all recruiting fees, and that holds for every Frontline placement, whether contract, contract-to-hire, or direct hire. Employers can see how those fees work on our pricing page, which is part of why the arrangement is easy to verify.

What happens once you start a contract assignment with Frontline?

On a temporary, contract, or contract-to-hire assignment, you are on Frontline's payroll while you work at the client company. Frontline backs you on the administrative side so nothing gets in the way of doing good work.

What does a Candidate Ambassador do?

Every placed temporary, contract, and contract-to-hire employee gets a dedicated Candidate Ambassador, a second named contact alongside your recruiter. Your Ambassador handles payroll, time cards, W-2s, benefits, attendance, and assignment extensions, so you always know exactly who to ask. Read more on the Candidate Ambassador page.

What benefits do Frontline contract employees receive?

Eligible temporary and contract employees receive medical benefit options, holiday pay, vacation pay accrual, and weekly direct deposit payroll. Eligibility depends on the assignment, and your recruiter or the payroll team can tell you where you stand. Full details are on our benefits page.

What candidate resources does Frontline Source Group provide?

• Apply your way: search open jobs or upload your resume once on the how to apply page.
• Show employers proof, not just claims: take free skills tests in QuickBooks, Microsoft Office, accounting, typing, 10-key, and 50 plus other programs.
• Know what to expect before you meet an employer: read the interview instructions.
• Ace the screen from home: learn how a live video interview with a Frontline recruiter works and how to set up your space.
• Understand your pay and coverage: see the medical options, holiday pay, vacation pay accrual, and weekly direct deposit available to eligible contract employees on the benefits page.
• Always know who to call on assignment: meet your Candidate Ambassador, your named contact for payroll, time cards, W-2s, and benefits.
• Get found by recruiters on LinkedIn: use the free LinkedIn Job Search Playbook.
• Turn a hiring tip into a charity gift: refer a company with hiring needs through the referral program, and Frontline directs up to 1,500 dollars to the 501(c)(3) charity you choose when a placement is completed.
• Hear it from people who have been through it: read candidate and client testimonials.

Where can you find more career advice?

The Frontline blog covers the job search from both sides of the desk. Popular reads include the executive bio vs. the resume, what the LinkedIn About section is for, thank you note subject lines after an interview, how to write a letter of resignation, and acceptable reasons to quit a job. You can also listen to Frontline's podcasts.

How can you tell a real Frontline recruiter from a scammer?

Job seekers are a favorite target for fraud. The Federal Trade Commission told Congress in March 2026 that consumers reported 15.9 billion dollars in fraud losses in 2025 across 3 million reports, up from 2.6 million reports the year before. Scammers sometimes copy real recruiters' names and photos from LinkedIn, so run these checks before you share anything:

• Every Frontline staff email ends in @frtline.com. A real Frontline recruiter never writes from Gmail or another free account.
• Every Frontline recruiter is listed on frontlinesourcegroup.com.
• Frontline only places people in jobs inside the United States.
• Frontline never asks candidates for money.

If a message fails any of these checks, stop and forward it to legal@frtline.com. Our scam alert page lists the tricks our Legal Department has seen and is kept current from candidate reports.

How does Frontline Source Group protect candidate privacy?

Your information is shared with a prospective employer only as part of the recruiting process, only after a recruiter has discussed the role with you, and only to the extent needed to evaluate fit. Frontline's privacy policy explains what candidate data is collected, how it is used and shared, and how you can request access, correction, or deletion.

Why does the 5-Year Placement Warranty matter to candidates?

The 5-Year Placement Warranty is Frontline's commitment to employers on every direct hire, 20 times longer than the 90-day guarantee common in the industry. It matters on your side of the desk because a recruiter standing behind a placement for five years has every reason to make sure the role and the company are right for you, not just to fill a seat. That focus on fit shows in Frontline's 98.94% executive placement retention rate, compared with an industry average of 70 percent. See the full list of honors on our awards page. People. Process.
