Pricing

Always an interesting topic and one many avoid – go too high and you are seen as possibly being good but probably too expensive; go too low and you are seen as probably quite cheap but possibly no good

Fixed fee – based on a negotiated assessment of the agreed recruitment assignment; incorporating factors such as permanent, fixed term, contracting, job complexity, potential candidate availability, replacement guarantee etc.

Margin – for recruitment services charged as a percentage of salary my rate is 9.5%.  Also, and primarily in contracting/temping situations, rather than charge an hourly $ margin I would rather do a daily or weekly admin fee

Hourly rate – very competitive and usually cheaper than percentage of salary.  My range is between $100 and $115 an hour.  I keep a time sheet of my hours and will happily invoice for the lower of percentage of salary or hourly rate.  This is also a great option when using my mentoring service
