What exactly is “flat fee recruitment”?

Why didn’t you just ask?

Flat fee recruitment is basically recruitment without you being ripped off. The way it works is we’ll provide almost everything an agency would provide, but for a flat fee of £700 (or less, but that depends on which package you choose).

We’ll manage your hiring process from the point it materialises as a “need” to the point of sending over relevant, quality applicants for you to interview.

How we help you recruit the very best.

We were tired of recruitment agencies ripping companies off. So we took the best and most productive bits of what they do, and packaged them in a way that gives you complete control of the recruitment process for a small, flat fee.

We call it Managed Advertising. There’s three key steps to what we do:

#1.

We take a detailed brief on the role

To get our head around who you are as a business, the skills you need and what your perfect hire looks like

#2.

We create a fully optimised advert

...that not only ranks highly on job boards, but gets the best, most relevant people applying before posting it on the top 500 job boards

#3.

We manage and filter the response

We manually assess every application against your criteria, before sending a handful of qualified people to you

We’ll help you fill any role, in any sector.

The beauty of our systematic approach, and the nature of how online recruitment works, means that our formula-driven recruitment campaigns will work for any job in any sector.

Over the years we’ve successfully recruited six-figure board level appointments for large PLC’s, through to junior administrators for SME’s.

The principles of recruiting online, which are basically being able to create brilliantly effective job adverts which get the best people applying, are the same regardless of seniority of position or the sector you’re recruiting in.

Our expertise is in getting your vacancy noticed and applied to.

Trusted by some of the biggest and best.

Since 2003, we’ve worked with thousands of companies, of all sizes. From household names through to SMEs, each with the same objective: To reduce how much they spend on recruitment without compromising on quality.

Here are some of the more familiar companies we’ve worked with.

Giving control of your business back to you.

Companies use recruitment agencies because they don’t know any better. Well we don’t believe in complicating the recruitment process any more than it needs to be.

We also don’t think you should ever be a slave to any agency…

So, with our flat fee service, you’ll never need to use an agency again. Access 500 of the UK’s best job boards, and get the top people applying to your jobs.

We’ll make it happen for you. And all for £700.

How we differ from a typical recruitment agency.

Recruitment agencies will inflate their fees by arranging interviews, checking references, and other superficial things that in truth you probably do yourself anyway.

They’ll also charge you a fee for every recruit that you take on through them.

We don’t do either of those things.

We just get your job in front of the best people on the best job boards, in a way that compels them to apply, before only sending across the most relevant people. You then take over.

All for one simple flat fee.

Simplifies the whole process and gives you total control, and means you only pay for the bit that you really need support with.

Simple pricing, no surprises.

We charge a single flat fee for our services, payable at the beginning of the project, regardless of the number of people you eventually recruit from that campaign.

If you just want to recruit for one role, that charge is £700, or £595 if you’ve never worked with us before.

But if you want to save even more money, we offer big discounts on volume packs, which can bring the price down to £350 per campaign.

Single fee, multiple hires.

We charge on a ‘campaign’ basis rather than ‘per hire’ like recruitment agencies do.

What that means to you is that you’re free to recruit as many people as you see fit from the same campaign at no extra cost.

Which ultimately means more savings and a better return on investment.

Perfect if you’re looking for teams of people such as Customer Service Operatives.
