The Problem with Traditional Agencies

Most SMEs face the same frustrations when working with traditional recruitment agencies

Huge Upfront Cost

15-25% of annual salary due immediately on hire

All the Risk

If they leave, you're chasing rebates and starting over

Cashflow Killer

A £40k hire costs £6k-£10k upfront — that's brutal for SMEs

Short Rebate Window

Most rebate terms are 8-12 weeks — barely enough time to assess fit

There's a Better Way

Pay gradually while your hire stays in role — £0 upfront, aligned with your success

What Our Clients Say

"The pay-as-they-stay model was a game-changer for us. We hired an electrician and only paid while he stayed with us — no huge upfront fee like traditional agencies wanted."

"We needed a site manager fast. Flexicruit had someone in front of us within a week, and the flexible payment took the pressure off our cashflow. Highly recommend."

MR

"Refreshingly honest. They told us when candidates weren't right, saved us time, and the person they placed has been with us for 8 months now. Worth every penny."
