What does a recruitment agency cost? How we work and charge
In most assignments you only pay us when you hire someone. What you pay, how and when is fixed before we start searching.
You will not find a price list here. The fee depends on how hard the profile is to find, on the form of collaboration and on the number of hires. After a first conversation you get a concrete proposal.
Three forms of collaboration
No cure no pay
Our standard form. We search, screen and present candidates, and you only pay when you hire one of them. If you hire nobody, you pay nothing.
Very hard-to-fill roles and executive search
For a role that is exceptionally hard to fill, or a leadership role for which we search in a targeted and discreet way, we agree a formula other than no cure no pay. Which one, we discuss beforehand based on the assignment.
Fixed amount for volume
If you have many hires to make, we can work for a fixed amount. We then operate as part of your organisation and fill the volumes.

How an assignment runs
As soon as you give the go-ahead, we draw up a shortlist and approach the candidates. Along the way you get updates, including on what makes the search harder, so that you can adjust. How long it takes depends on the vacancy; we do not put a deadline on it beforehand that we cannot keep.
- Vacancy intake. We discuss the technical context, the team, responsibilities, salary, must-haves and desired timing.
- Market approach. Active search, network outreach and selection of professionals relevant to your role.
- In-depth screening. We assess experience, technical knowledge, motivation, availability and salary expectations.
- Selective shortlist. We only introduce candidates who have been interviewed and have given their consent.
- Guidance and follow-up. We support interviews, feedback and the offer, and follow up after the start.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost if you find nobody?
With no cure no pay, our standard form, nothing. You only pay when you hire a candidate we presented.
Why is there no rate on the site?
Because the fee differs per assignment: it depends on the profile, the form of collaboration and the volume. You know it before we start.
What if the new hire leaves again quickly?
Within the agreed guarantee period we find a replacement free of charge. The length of that period is agreed per assignment.
May I work with other agencies at the same time?
Yes. We do not ask for exclusivity.
Do you also do temporary agency work?
No. We work on permanent hires, freelance assignments and project sourcing.
How quickly do I get candidates?
That depends on the vacancy. As soon as you give the go-ahead we draw up a shortlist and approach candidates, and you get updates along the way on progress and bottlenecks.
