We tried that at one company I worked for and it worked well enough. Our contract with the consulting firm said if we dumped the contractor within 90 days we didn't pay a cent for any of their time. This resulted in the consulting firm only sending us candidates that had good reviews in prior engagements. And good reviews from prior engagements strongly correlates with good reviews in future engagements.

Can you tell me which consulting company was that. We have a few contract positions where we can use consultants .

I want to say it was TEKSystems. Some caveats here. We may have had to sign an exclusive deal with them, that we would not hire through anyone else. Also, we were a big client with an extremely good relationship with them, they made a lot of money from us. Also, it could've been 30 or 60 days on the limit. But the concept was in place.
