You pay only if you hire
Pricing varies based on whether you hire directly or through our managed service

Flat fee for each successful hire
We offer a straightforward, one-time flat fee pricing model for direct hires - no ongoing charges, no hidden costs. Our fee is typically around 20 - 30% of the candidate’s first-year salary, and you only pay after you’ve successfully made a hire. There's no risk or upfront commitment, so you can focus on finding the right person without pressure.
All payments are invoiced through our US-based company, making the process smooth, compliant, and familiar for US clients. To ensure peace of mind, we include a 90-day replacement guarantee - if the hire isn’t a good fit, we’ll find a replacement at no additional cost. We’re here to support long-term success, not just fill seats.

Monthly pricing for fully managed talent
With our fully managed model, you pay a simple monthly fee that covers everything - employment, payroll, compliance, and admin. We act as the legal employer, so you don’t need to set up a local entity or worry about legal and tax obligations. You get one clean invoice each month from our US-based company, while we handle the rest behind the scenes.
Pricing is customized for each role based on several factors: the candidate’s location, level of seniority, contract length, and how quickly you need to hire. This allows us to tailor the setup to your exact needs, ensuring full compliance with local laws while keeping things simple, scalable, and low-risk.
