The Challenge With Traditional Recruitment Fees

The standard upfront model works for large companies, but for SMEs? It puts all the risk in the wrong place.

£6-10k Upfront

A huge cashflow hit before you know if the person will even work out

Short Guarantee

8-12 weeks isn't long enough to truly know if someone's the right fit

Rebate Hassle

Claiming back money when someone leaves early can be slow and complicated

Unbalanced Risk

The business carries all the risk while the recruiter gets paid upfront

We Took a Different Approach

Pay gradually while they work. If they leave, you stop paying. Risk shared fairly between both sides.
