How it works

From brief to hired — a fixed price that never moves

  1. Tell us the role

    A short brief — the role, the must-haves, the salary you're working to. We benchmark it against the market and tell you honestly whether it's fillable at that level before you commit a penny.

  2. Agree a fixed price up front

    Your flat fee is set by salary band, from £1,500 +VAT, and it never moves. No percentage of salary, no commission, no surprise invoice at the end. Payment is upon instruction, protected by the guarantee.

  3. We advertise and we headhunt

    A dedicated recruiter writes the advert, distributes it across the UK's major job boards, and proactively headhunts the people who aren't scrolling the boards — because the best candidate for most roles isn't actively looking.

  4. You get a screened shortlist

    We screen every application and telephone pre-screen the strongest, then present a shortlist of interviewed candidates with a presentation pack — not a CV flood. You interview the ones you like; we manage scheduling and offers.

  5. You hire — or you get a full refund

    The price never changes, whatever the hire's salary. And if we don't fill the role within the agreed window, you get 100% of your fee back — no rebate ladder, no vouchers, no quibble.

Questions

Guaranteed Hire FAQs

How and when do I pay?

Your flat fee is agreed by salary band and paid upon instruction — when you formally ask us to start the role, after the market benchmarking. It's fixed from that point and protected by the 100% refund guarantee.

What does the guarantee cover?

If we don't fill your role within the agreed window, you get 100% of your fee back. It's standard on every Guaranteed Hire, not an add-on — no rebate ladder, no vouchers.

Is there any commission when I hire?

No. The flat fee is the whole cost, whatever salary your hire accepts. No percentage of salary, no commission, ever.

What if my hire leaves?

The optional 12-Month Replacement Guarantee re-runs the entire search free of charge if your hire leaves — resignation or dismissal — within 12 months. It's £750 +VAT on the Standard tier and £1,000 +VAT on all other tiers.
