Chiron Human Capital · Recruiting Sprints

Member pricing.
The hire, protected for 6 months.

As a Chiron member you already have the people infrastructure that makes hires stick. So members pay less on every band, and every hire carries a 6-month replacement guarantee as standard. Twice the market norm, included, not an add-on.

Grey: typical UK agency fee at 20% of first-year salary. Yellow: my fixed fee. UK agencies commonly charge 15 to 25% of salary for permanent placements.

Why 6 months? Because the law now works in 6 months.

From 1 January 2027, employees can claim unfair dismissal after six months of service, not two years, under the Employment Rights Act 2025, and the compensation cap is being removed. Anyone hired from 1 July 2026 who is still employed on 1 January 2027 already qualifies.

So the guarantee period on this sheet is not a round number. It is matched to the exact window the law now gives you to get a hire right. My reviews at weeks 4, 8 and 12 mean your keep-or-act decision is made, documented and defensible by month 3, well before protection kicks in. If action is ever needed, it goes through my call-before-act protocol first.

One package covers both risks: the commercial risk of a hire not working out, covered by the 6-month replacement guarantee, and the legal risk of handling it badly, covered by the process. No agency offers the second half. That is the point of doing this with your HR provider.

What you get, and why it matters

Role design, done properlyI help you define the role before we search. Most bad hires are bad briefs. This is where I fix that.
Structured search, not just advertsDirect sourcing across my networks and 20 years of technical markets. I go and find people, I do not wait for applicants.
Behavioural screening and scorecardsEvery candidate is screened against a scorecard we agree together. You see evidence, not gut feel.
Managed in ClarityLoop ATSYour pipeline, live, in one place. Interview notes, feedback and offers all tracked. Nothing lost in email.
Your brand, front and centreCandidates apply to your company, not an agency. Every advert, message and interview builds your employer brand, not mine.
Offer management to start dateI handle the offer, the negotiation and the notice period. I stay involved until they walk through your door.
Onboarding built before day oneA structured onboarding workflow set up in your ClarityLoop platform, so the first week is planned, not improvised.
Probation reviews at weeks 4, 8 and 12I run structured check-ins with you and the new hire. Problems get caught at week 4, when they are cheap to fix.

What you never pay for

No job board or advertising spend. Sourcing, advertising and campaign costs are inside the fixed fee. There is no pass-through invoice at the end.

No software licences. The search runs through the ClarityLoop ATS I provide. You do not buy, configure or learn a recruitment system.

No agency branding between you and your candidates. Everything goes to market in your name. The talent pool we build, the candidate goodwill, the employer brand equity, all of it stays with your business when the search ends.

Why members get twice the protection

I can offer a 6-month guarantee to members because the conditions for a successful hire already exist in your business. Your onboarding runs through ClarityLoop. I run probation reviews with you at weeks 4, 8 and 12. Any formal action goes through my call-before-act protocol before you move. That is what stops a wobbly week 6 becoming a failed month 4. The guarantee is not a marketing line, it is the by-product of a process that actually works.

Guarantee terms, in plain English. The guarantee is a free replacement search, not a cash refund. It applies where the hire resigns or is fairly dismissed for performance or conduct within the guarantee period. It does not apply to redundancy or a material change to the role. The 6-month guarantee is conditional on the probation reviews being completed and my call-before-act protocol being followed for any formal action, because the guarantee works when the process is followed. Bands are set by the role's agreed basic salary. The band is confirmed in writing before you commit and does not change at offer stage. All fees exclude VAT.
