Offering & Partnership Models

Many Flexible Partnership Models to Fit Your Business Needs

We provide a portfolio of business models to support your plans and budget, and we are always open to tailor special agreements that match your goals.

Recruitment Partnership Models

Choose the commitment level that aligns with your hiring roadmap, from no-risk contingent searches to fully outsourced talent acquisition.

1. Contingent Search

This success-based model carries zero upfront fees. You only pay when a candidate we present is hired and starts the role.

Key Benefit: Zero upfront financial risk.

Ideal For: High-volume or generalist roles, or when you are activating multiple sourcing channels.

2. Retained Search

Best suited for executive or niche technical positions. An upfront retainer (typically in three stages) secures an exclusive, priority search.

Key Benefit: Guaranteed dedication and focused resources for complex or confidential hires.

Ideal For: C-level talent, technical architects, and market-sensitive searches.

3. Engaged Search

A hybrid of contingent and retained models. A modest, non-refundable fee initiates the search and is credited against the final placement fee.

Key Benefit: Elevated recruiter commitment without the cost of a full retainer.

Ideal For: High-priority mid-level roles and competitive talent markets.

4. Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)

We manage all or part of your talent acquisition function, covering sourcing, screening, compliance, and onboarding for a defined period.

Key Benefit: Converts recruiting into a predictable operating expense while standardising processes.

Ideal For: Rapid hiring, geographical expansion, or transforming the talent acquisition function.

Outsourcing Service Models

Define how our experts integrate with your operating model, from individual specialists to end-to-end delivery teams.

1. Staff Augmentation

Deploy individual specialists who plug into your leadership structure while we handle HR, payroll, and benefits.

Key Benefit: Instant access to skills with maximum control over daily delivery.

Ideal For: Short-term spikes or niche expertise.

2. Managed Team

We assemble and operate a cohesive squad aligned to your product or platform goals, managing workflow and outcomes.

Key Benefit: Offloads team management while maintaining clear strategic direction.

Ideal For: Long-term programmes and continuous delivery.

3. Project-Based

We take accountability for delivering a defined scope end-to-end with fixed deliverables and acceptance criteria.

Key Benefit: Predictable budget and timeline, transferring overrun risk to us.

Ideal For: Clearly scoped initiatives such as migrations or feature launches.

Pricing Models

Align investment with risk and control preferences using the structure that fits your recruitment or outsourcing engagement.

1. Percentage of Salary (Recruitment)

Fees calculated as a percentage of first-year compensation.

Application: Standard recruitment placements.

Flexibility & Risk: Familiar model with fees tied to final salary.

2. Flat Fee (Recruitment)

Fixed placement fee regardless of negotiated salary.

Application: Volume or standardised roles.

Flexibility & Risk: High budget predictability.

3. Time & Material (Outsourcing)

Billable hours at agreed rates for each role engaged.

Application: Staff augmentation and evolving projects.

Flexibility & Risk: Maximum agility with variable monthly costs.

4. Fixed Price (Outsourcing)

Single agreed amount for defined deliverables and timeline.

Application: Highly scoped, outcome-driven initiatives.

Flexibility & Risk: Full budget certainty; change requests managed separately.

5. Block Hours / Retainer (Outsourcing)

Reserve a bank of support hours each month at a preferred rate.
