Contact Information
Administrative Fees

Because departments save time and money by having Quest Relocation (Recruitment) Group perform key recruitment functions, Quest charges the recruiting USC department the following administrative fees.

  • $800 per candidate. Fee includes: Initial phone consultation, in-person orientation meeting, comprehensive relocation packet, and community/real estate overview tours.
  • Additional fees will apply for additional services when agreed to in advance between Quest and the department.
Requesting and Authorizing Services

To initiate services from Quest, follow these steps:

  1. To engage Quest, complete the Recruitment Authorization Form using the following guidelines. It is recommended that the USC Procurement Card (P-Card) be used to pay the administrative fee. Use of the P-Card may expedite the process. If a purchase order is being used, Quest cannot engage in any transaction until the purchase order is issued. Therefore, it is important to provide Quest with the purchase order number within five (5) business days of faxing the Recruitment Authorization Form to Quest.
    1. Complete the Recruitment Authorization Form in its entirety.
      • The Recruitment Authorization Form will require an Authorized Signer's signature.
      • Be certain to provide the candidate's contact information so that Quest can contact the candidate. Quest will contact the candidate within one (1) business day of receiving the Recruitment Authorization Form, unless instructed otherwise.
    2. Submit the Recruitment Authorization Form to Quest:
    3. Create a requisition (if not paying by P-Card) for $800 or other amount agreed to.
    4. Attach a copy of the Recruitment Authorization Form to the requisition and deliver or mail the requisition to Purchasing Services.
    5. Purchasing Services will issue a purchase order number within two (2) business days.
    6. Add the purchase order number to the Recruitment Authorization Form and resend to Quest.
