What Factors Shape Recruitment Costs?

  • Time and labour dedicated to your project - ie the number of team members we will allocate to your role
  • Reach - do you need a local, national or global search?
  • Marketing - would your project benefit from a video campaign? Video is incredibly effective - 87% of marketing professionals use video to engage with their audience.
  • Advertising - beyond standard job board advertising, do you need a targetted social media campaign?
  • Project delivery time - does the urgency of your project require our team to work beyond standard hours?
  • Testing - do you require candidates to complete psychometric (or other) testing?
  • Placement guarantee - what length of replacement guarantee do you require?
