Why fixed price
Budget certainty without compromise
Fixed price recruitment gives you all the expertise of a specialist agency — with the financial predictability your organisation needs.
Know your cost upfront
We agree a flat fee before we start. Whether the hire is on £25k or £75k, the fee stays the same. No percentage surprises.
Finance-friendly
Fixed costs are easier to plan, budget, and get sign-off on. No end-of-quarter shocks when a senior hire lands a higher salary than expected.
Same quality search
Fixed price doesn't mean a lesser service. We use the same sourcing, screening, and process — you just have a predictable cost.
Replacement guarantee
If a placed candidate leaves within the agreed period, we find a replacement at no additional charge.
Full search included
Advertising, headhunting, screening, shortlisting — everything included in the fixed fee. Nothing held back.
UK, Europe, Canada & USA
We place talent across all our core markets — fixed price, wherever the role is based.
How it works
Simple, transparent, start to finish
We agree everything upfront — the fee, the timeline, the process — so there are no surprises along the way.
Brief the role
We take a full brief — the role requirements, team context, culture, and ideal candidate profile.
Agree the fee
We provide a fixed fee quote. Once agreed, that's the number — it won't change regardless of what the candidate earns.
Search and screen
We go to market, headhunt, and screen thoroughly — presenting only candidates who genuinely fit.
Interviews and offer
We coordinate interviews, manage feedback, and support through offer and acceptance.
Placed — and guaranteed
Candidate starts, guarantee period begins. If it doesn't work out, we replace at no extra cost.
What's included
Flat fee agreed before work begins
Full active and passive candidate sourcing
