For employers
Terms of business
Terms and fee structures are agreed in writing before instruction. Our full Terms of Business schedule is supplied on request.
Agreed in writing first
Before we introduce any candidate or begin any work, we agree our terms with you in writing. This covers the fee, when it's payable, payment terms and what happens if a placement ends early.
Permanent recruitment
- Fee: A percentage of the candidate's first-year basic salary, typically 15% to 20%, on a contingency basis. You only pay if you hire through us.
- When it's payable: On the candidate's start date.
- If a placement ends early: An agreed, tiered rebate or replacement period applies, set out in your terms.
Temporary and contract staffing
- Charge: An agreed hourly or daily charge rate. This includes the worker's pay, statutory contributions and our margin.
- Invoicing: Weekly, payable within 14 days.
Executive search
- Fee: A retained fee, typically 20% to 25% of the role's first-year basic salary.
- Payment stages: One third on instruction, one third on shortlist and one third on placement.
HR consultancy
- Fee: An agreed daily rate or a fixed project fee, confirmed in writing before work begins.
