What the employer pays for: what the fee includes

  • Vacancy brief: we clarify duties, candidate requirements, working conditions and the market pay level for the role.
  • Sourcing: the agency database, job sites, social networks and professional communities; direct search and headhunting for managers and rare specialists.
  • First screening: calls with candidates, checks of experience and references.
  • A shortlist of candidates for your interviews, candidate feedback and help agreeing the offer.
  • Start date and the 30-day guarantee: if the employee leaves or does not fit, we search for a replacement at no extra charge.
  • Confidentiality: vacancies, salary ranges and candidate data are not shared with third parties, and this is written into the contract.

How and when you pay

The fee is tied to the result: it becomes due when the person you hired starts work. Until then the brief, sourcing, screening and interview scheduling cost nothing.

Managers are hired on the same terms as any other role, including the company’s CEO and other top executives: 50% of one monthly salary of the executive you hire, paid after they start, with a 30-day replacement. The percentage stays the same, so in money terms hiring a director costs more than hiring line staff.

We find candidates for top positions through executive search, headhunting and referrals, and keep negotiations confidential. The process is described on top management selection. Sales, finance, marketing and legal specialists are covered by mid-level recruitment, workers, sales assistants and operators by line staff recruitment, developers and IT managers by IT recruitment.
