Three plans of subscription IT recruitment

Contingency

Contingency Recruitment

The right starting point if you have one urgent role and you haven't worked with us before. You pay when the role closes. If it doesn't work out, we find you another candidate at no extra charge.

Subscription

Subscription from $1,499/month

Commission-based recruitment charges 15 to 25% of first-year salary. For a $120,000 developer, that is up to $30,000 per hire. Subscription replaces that with a fixed monthly fee regardless of who you hire or what they earn.

​Managed Team Recruiter

Managed Team Recruiter

Most agencies split their recruiters across 20 clients. This model works the opposite way. One recruiter, fully allocated to your company, building knowledge of your stack, your culture, and your hiring standards over time.

RPO

Recruitment Process Outsourcing

We run sourcing, screening, candidate management, interview coordination, and offer negotiation. Everything except the final hiring decision. Built for companies that hire constantly or are scaling faster than their internal recruitment can handle.
