When to hire

When nobody owns the renewal calendar

Most teams wait too long. These are the points where the seat pays for itself immediately.

Nobody owns the calendar Expiry dates live in different people's heads.
Work stops on site A lapsed permit halts a job with no warning.
Filing windows missed Routine paperwork becomes a penalty by arriving late.
Evidence gathered at audit The file gets built when the regulator asks.
Do any of these sound familiar?
  • Expiry dates live in different heads.
  • A lapsed permit stops work on site.
  • Filing windows close without anyone noticing.
  • Evidence gets assembled when the regulator asks.
  • Renewals are remembered, not scheduled.
  • Nothing is urgent until it is fatal.

Model fit

Where your permit coordinators work best

Hire in the US when
  • Some filings need a licensed signatory
  • Site inspections require attendance
  • Municipal offices expect a local contact
Hire globally when
  • Expiry calendars are tracking work
  • Application assembly is documentation
  • Evidence filing is system work

Both models carry the same vetting bar and the same guarantee. Pricing for each is above.

Role / responsibility Global US direct hire Why
Expiry calendar tracking Global Tracking work, staffs globally
Permit application assembly Global Documentation, runs from anywhere
Certificate administration Global System work with no site need
Regulatory filing preparation Global Deadline work, staffs globally
Licensed signatory filings US direct hire Requires a domestic signature
Site inspection attendance US direct hire Someone attends in person
Bond and insurance tracking Global Document work, staffs globally
Jurisdiction research Global Desk research, runs from anywhere

One partner, onshore and global

A US office manager working alongside two fully managed global assistants is a Tuesday, not an exception. You pick the model per desk and we run both under one partner.

FAQ

Administrative Support staffing, answered

What does a licensing and permits desk own?

It owns everything with an expiry date attached: permits, licenses, certificates, environmental reports and housing compliance files, all tracked against filing windows someone else sets. Nothing about the work is urgent until it is fatal, because a lapsed permit stops work on a site and a missed window becomes a penalty.

Who hires licensing and permit staff through HireHawk?

Energy operators, insurance agencies and property managers, usually after something lapsed and stopped work rather than before. Both hiring models carry a guarantee: 100% performance replacement on Global Fully Managed, 60-day replacement on US Direct Hire. Anything requiring a licensed signatory stays with your own staff.

Will these hires work in our compliance tracking?

Yes. Coordinators work in whatever tracker, portal or system of record you already use, following your escalation rules on anything approaching a deadline. Fluency is tested during vetting, so someone presented as a Permit and Licensing Coordinator has built a renewal calendar from a real set of expiry dates.

Can we scale compliance support up and down?

You can add capacity easily, and we would be careful about removing it. Fully managed global seats run month to month and US direct hires stay permanent employees on your payroll. The risk with flexing this desk is that expiry dates keep running whether or not anyone is watching them.

How do you vet licensing and permit candidates?

5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening, plus an exercise built from a real set of renewal dates and filing windows, marked on what they flagged and how early. Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented. This desk rewards people who are constitutionally early, and that is what the exercise tests.

What does a permit coordinator cost?

Global Fully Managed from $12/hr all-inclusive, month to month. Compare it to one lapsed permit stopping work on a site for a week. US Direct Hire is $995 plus 12.5% of first-year salary, or 15% with nothing upfront, if a filing needs a domestic signatory.

Can they sign or submit filings for us?

They can prepare and submit anything that does not require a licensed or authorized signature. Where a filing must be signed by a designated person, that stays with your staff. The split varies by state and by permit type, and we map it before the search rather than during it.

We already have a tracker. What changes?

Ownership. Most operators we speak to have a spreadsheet that is accurate the week someone builds it. What is missing is a person whose actual job includes looking at it every week and acting six weeks ahead of a date. That is a seat, not a better spreadsheet.
