From our published pricing and search agreements. Every public option pays through secure Stripe Instant Pay.
You confirm the hire. Then it pays.
During onboarding, the client securely connects a business bank account in a few minutes. Stripe handles and protects the sensitive bank credentials; we keep only limited connection details such as authorization status and the account’s last four digits. Setup is free to the client and ends repeated invoice processing.
When a placement starts, the client receives the exact fee, start date and guarantee end date and confirms whether the candidate reported to work. A “Yes” queues the authorized payment; a “No” stops it.
Fees, answered
How much do you charge to fill a manufacturing role?
Contingency searches are 25% with a 60-day guarantee, 30% with 120 days, or 33% with 180 days, with no upfront search fee. Retained searches are 20%, 25% or 28% with the same three guarantees and 50% paid up front. Retained plus volume, for six or more jobs, is 15% with a 90-day guarantee or 20% with 180 days, as exclusive searches.
What decides the rate?
The guarantee you choose. A longer guarantee costs more because we stand behind the hire for longer.
Contingency or retained: which should we use?
Contingency is success-based with no upfront fee. Retained is a committed, exclusive search with 50% up front at five points less. Priority searches are for urgent, difficult or high-impact openings, and RPO covers large or recurring hiring. How to choose.
How is the fee paid?
Every public option uses Stripe ACH Direct Debit with Stripe Financial Connections. When a placement starts, you receive the exact fee, start date and guarantee end date and confirm whether the candidate reported to work. A Yes queues the authorized payment; a No stops it.
Do candidates pay anything?
No. Employers pay the placement fee. The only candidate-paid service is the optional Dream Job Placement program. How it works.
Good hiring starts with an honest search.
