TRADITIONAL RECRUITMENT

They charge too much, too early

Traditional agency

  • Full fee upfront
  • You take the risk
  • Money leaves immediately
FLEXICRUIT

Performance-based

  • Payments spread out
  • Risk is shared
  • Cash stays in your business

If they leave early, payments stop — no rebate arguments

Traditional recruitment is backwards

Most agencies charge once a candidate starts, even though the real test begins after they join. A CV can look right and an interview can go well, but the hire only matters if they actually turn up, perform and stay.

The CV

A well-written CV tells you someone can sell themselves. It does not tell you they can do the job.

The Interview

An hour in a room proves someone can talk well. It does not prove they will turn up on site at 7am every day.

The Real Test

The real test is what happens after the start date. That is when the fee should actually be earned.

The Flexicruit difference

You are not paying for a CV.

You are not paying for an interview.

You are not even really paying for a placement.

You are paying for a successful hire that actually works out.

That is why our fee is spread monthly. If the candidate leaves, the payments stop.
