Successful Hire: When an Applicant we introduce to you begins employment with your company. Employing any staff member, contractor, or agent that currently or has previously been engaged by Willing Recruitment, following a direct or indirect introduction.
Third-Party Hires: If a third party hires an Applicant we introduce because you passed on their details, you remain responsible for the recruitment fee.
Performance-Based:
You only pay a fee when we successfully place a candidate with you and they start the job. This ensures we are motivated to find the right fit for your team.
Role-Specific:
Our fees vary depending on the complexity and seniority of the role. This means you only pay a fair rate that reflects the level of responsibility required. Junior roles attract a lower fee, while more senior positions, which require greater expertise and experience, come with a higher fee.
Predictable Costs
Because our fees are based on the agreed salary, it makes budgeting for new hires more predictable and easier to manage.
This model is often more beneficial than a flat fee because:
It scales with the role, meaning you’re never overpaying for junior roles, nor underestimating the effort involved in recruiting senior ones.
It offers a fair, proportional approach that reflects the complexity and responsibility of each hire.
It helps with budgeting, as fees are directly linked to salary levels, making it easier for you to plan and allocate costs based on the role’s value to your organisation.
