We believe in transparent pricing and accountable service. Our recruitment model is success-based. We charge an 18% placement fee calculated on the candidate’s first-year base salary, only payable once your chosen hire has accepted and started their role.

To further protect your investment, every placement comes with a 3-month replacement guarantee. If the candidate does not remain in the role or meet expectations during that time, we’ll conduct a replacement search at no extra charge.
