Our Fees & Charges

We charge a Client Assignment fee when you contract us to find someone for you. This is rebated in full when a placement is made.

Our Permanent Placement fee is calculated on a percentage of the commencing annual salary of the successful candidate.

We are also able to let you “try before you buy”. If you employ one of our personnel in a temporary assignment, then after a time decide to take the person on permanently, you will only pay us a percentage of the Permanent Placement fee.
