Recruitment at a fixed price.
Known before you start.
One fee per hire, agreed upfront. I run the search end to end, in your brand, through a structured process. This sheet shows exactly what it costs and what the market charges for the same hire.
Fixed fees, agreed before we start
| Sprint | Role level | Fixed fee | Guarantee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprint 1 | Roles up to £35,000 | £2,950 | 12-week replacement |
| Sprint 2 | Roles £35,001 to £60,000 | £4,750 | 12-week replacement |
| Sprint 3 | Roles £60,001 and above | £7,500 | 12-week replacement |
£1,000 on instruction, the balance on placement. The fee is the fee. No percentage of salary, no surprises at offer stage.
What the same hire costs elsewhere
The law changed this month. Your next hire is affected.
From 1 January 2027, the qualifying period for unfair dismissal drops from two years to six months under the Employment Rights Act 2025, and the cap on compensation is being removed. Anyone you hire from 1 July 2026 who is still with you on 1 January 2027 will already have the service needed to claim.
In plain English: the old safety net of two low-risk years is gone. You now have less than six months to decide whether a hire is right, and that decision needs to be evidenced, reviewed and documented, not left to a gut call in month five.
That is why this offer is built the way it is. A structured search reduces the chance of a mis-hire in the first place. Protected Hire adds documented probation reviews at weeks 4, 8 and 12, so your decision is made, on evidence, months before the six-month line. If it still goes wrong, the 6-month guarantee means the replacement search costs you nothing.
What you get, and why it matters
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 percentage creep. The fee is fixed to the band, not the salary. If the right candidate costs more than you planned, my invoice does not grow with theirs.
Members get more: every member search runs through the ClarityLoop ATS and goes to market in your own employer brand, so the talent pool and candidate goodwill stay with your business. See member pricing below.
Protected Hire · optional add-on · £650 per hire
Most hires fail in the first three months, and they fail because nobody managed the landing. Protected Hire adds a structured onboarding plan for the first 90 days, probation reviews at weeks 4, 8 and 12 run by me, and manager guidance through my call-before-act protocol. In return, your replacement guarantee extends from 12 weeks to 6 months, double the market standard. Chiron members get all of this included as standard, along with member pricing on every band. Ask me about membership on the call.
