Fixed Fee Recruitment in Ireland.
One fixed fee. Sixteen weeks of work behind it.

You pay one fixed fee, agreed upfront — never a percentage of salary. A dedicated recruiter works your role for 8 weeks: advert, search, headhunting, screening and shortlist. If the role isn't filled in that time, we keep working it for a further 8 weeks at no extra cost. A dedicated recruiter with 15+ years' average experience handles everything — market intelligence, salary benchmarking, sourcing, screening and shortlisting. If the role is still open after 16 weeks, the search closes and we agree any further work with you.

Pricing is a fixed fee based on the salary band of the role: Standard (roles up to €29,999) €1,800; Professional (€30,000–€44,999) €2,300; Senior (€45,000–€59,999) €3,300; Executive (€60,000+) €4,300. No VAT is added (reverse charge). Every tier carries the same terms: an 8-week First Search Period, and a further 8 weeks at no extra cost if the role isn't filled. For context, a traditional agency charging 15–25% of salary would cost €6,750–€11,250 on a €45,000 role.

We keep working it for a further 8 weeks — the Second Search Period — at no extra cost. It starts automatically the day after the first 8 weeks end. In week 6 we review the search with you against the market: the response so far, candidate feedback, and the salary and requirements. It works best as teamwork: a competitive salary, openness to transferable skills, quick feedback and fair, inclusive hiring.

If the role is still open after 16 weeks, the search closes and we agree any further work with you. If a candidate is at final interview or offer stage when the 16 weeks end, we support that process to its conclusion. The search periods run continuously from the start — they cannot be paused or put on hold.

Payment is made upon instruction — one fixed fee that puts your dedicated recruiter to work and activates every sourcing channel from day one. It covers up to 16 weeks of work on the role, and there is nothing more to pay for the second 8 weeks.

On average, managed roles fill in around six weeks, and most instructions receive a qualified shortlist within the first 3–5 working days. Across our recent managed placements the median time to fill was 38 days, and roles have been filled in as little as 8 days. Your recruiter will give you a realistic timeline at the briefing stage — and if your role takes longer than 8 weeks, the further 8 weeks are at no extra cost.

Most agencies rely on job boards and LinkedIn — reaching only the minority of the workforce actively job-hunting. We activate eight channels simultaneously: our own pre-qualified database built over 15 years, AI-powered screening, niche professional communities, industry associations, advanced LinkedIn search, the major job boards, referral networks, and direct headhunting. That reach is what the fixed fee pays for.

You can add Replacement Cover. An optional add-on. If your new hire leaves for any reason within 12 months of their start date, we run a replacement search for the same role at no further fee. It costs €950 on the Standard tier and €1,200 on all other tiers, with no VAT added, and it must be bought before your hire's start date.

No. Zero. None. Ever. The fixed fee is the total cost whether your hire accepts at €30,000 or €70,000. Our incentives are aligned with yours: find the right person, not the most expensive one.

Absolutely. Each role gets its own dedicated recruiter and is managed independently. Hiring for three or more positions? Speak to our team about volume pricing.
