Our fees
Selecting a good and reliable recruitment partner is not an easy task. Quality, Reliability, Speed, and Costs are all important factors to consider. Of course, it makes sense. Because if you’re going to hire an external agency, you want to make sure they deliver.
Recruitment costs money in the form of a recruitment agency fee, whether through an internal recruiter or an external agency. But the cost of missed business opportunities by not filling crucial roles can be even greater. And it’s precisely those roles that are so hard to fill. Partnering with a specialized recruitment agency like Search X offers a solution. Depending on your needs and wishes, Search X offers a range of options.
25%
We cure, you pay
A partnership based on ‘We cure, you pay’ (also known as ‘No cure no pay”) is less binding. The recruitment agency fee for recruiting the right candidate is 25% of the gross annual salary based on full-time employment. You can choose this option when you’re working with multiple recruitment agencies, for example. It doesn’t force a commitment. Of course, our goal is the same as ever, making sure we deliver the highest level of quality. It’s just that we’re a little more committed to our retained clients.
commitment is key
Retained
With Retained, we increase commitment from both sides. By completing a 50% upfront payment of the expected total fee, we confirm exclusivity. The remaining amount will be invoiced after the signing of the employment contract. We prioritize this vacancy even more than we usually do. The total fee for recruiting the right candidate is 30% of the gross annual salary based on full-time employment. Effort is guaranteed, so it’s ideal for ongoing and specialized positions.
no strings attached
Temp-to-perm
Our secondment service offers unique cooperation that is gaining popularity every day. The system is simple: we offer our clients a professional for a settled amount of time, e.g. a year. After a successful period, the client can offer a fixed contract to the candidate. During this contract period, Search X is the official employer. This relieves the client from a lot of worries concerning probation, temporary contracts and arranging all administrative obligations.
This construction is based on an hourly rate with a factor. This factor is dependent on the type of job, because of the wide variety of sectors we’re operating in. The same goes for collective labour agreements, which are also connected to the industry.
GUARANTEED
X=
X= is a subscription model. You pay a monthly recruitment agency fee, which is a percentage of the gross annual salary with the guarantee that we will fill the position for you. The total recruitment agency fee of the right candidate is a percentage of the gross annual salary based on full-time employment, spread over a period of 12 months. Should the candidate leave the company within that time, we will find a suitable replacement free of cost.
