Two ways to hire with us

Same candidates, same vetting, same guarantee. The difference is who employs them and how you pay for it.

Book a callSee how it works

No fee until you hire · Replacement guaranteed · Start in a week

Option one

Direct hire

One-time fee per placement

We find, vet and shortlist. You employ them yourself, or through the EOR you already use, and we step back once they start.

You own the employment relationship One fee, then nothing ongoing 180-day replacement guarantee We advise on offer structure and coordinate the transition Best value if you already run international payroll

Option two

Staffing model

Monthly fee per hire

We find, vet and place them, then employ them on your behalf. They work as part of your team and we carry all the employment overhead.

No international payroll or EOR needed Contracts, benefits, equipment and compliance handled Replacement guaranteed for the whole engagement Check-ins at 30, 60 and 90 days Month to month, 30 days notice

Fees depend on the seniority of the role. We quote both models on the first call so you can compare them side by side.

Both models

Included either way

The hiring work does not change between the two. Only the employment does.

The full search

Role scoping, sourcing, screening and reference checks. You see a shortlist, not a pile of CVs.

The same vetting

Every candidate clears the full process before you meet them, whichever model you pick.

A replacement guarantee

If the fit is wrong we replace them. No second placement fee, no restarting the search.

FAQ

Before you book

Which model should we choose?

If you already run international payroll or work with an EOR, direct hire is cheaper over the life of the role. If you do not, the staffing model gets you the same person without building any of that infrastructure. We will tell you honestly which one fits on the call.

Can we start on staffing and move to direct hire later?

Yes. Plenty of clients begin on the staffing model while they set up their own employment entity, then convert the hire across. There is no conversion penalty.

What is not included in the fee?

The hire’s salary, which you agree with them, and any software licences they need. Everything else in the columns above is included in the fee shown.

What happens if the hire does not work out?

Both models carry a replacement guarantee. On direct hire that runs 180 days from the start date. On the staffing model it runs for as long as the engagement does.

Is there a fee to see candidates?

No. Scoping the role, the shortlist and the interviews all happen before you pay anything.
