How Irish SMEs Fill Skilled Roles for a Flat Fee From €1,800 — Without Paying 15–25% Agency Fees
A free 20-minute on-demand training for owners and hiring managers. Real placements, real timelines, and the exact maths of a €50,000 hire: €10,000 at a typical 20% agency fee versus €3,300 flat — with a 100% refund if we don't fill your role.
“Rita was excellent to work with from the start. Efficient, quick at responding and found great candidates who matched our brief. I would highly recommend their services.”
What you'll learn
Inside the 20 minutes
- The fee maths on one slide — where a €10,000 agency fee actually goes, and why the percentage model is structurally rigged against smaller employers.
- How a 14-day fill happens — the exact process behind a business-critical finance hire: 25 candidates sourced, 10 interviewed, offer signed in a fortnight.
- What it takes to fill a "nobody can fill it" role — 45 interviews and six client-ready candidates for one niche construction position, on a flat fee.
- The guarantee, precisely — how a 100% refund (not a rebate ladder) works, what the agreed timeframe means, and the only three ways an instruction can end.

What employers say
Trusted by employers across the UK and Ireland
“Rita was excellent to work with from the start. Efficient, quick at responding and found great candidates who matched our brief. I would highly recommend their services.”
“Great talent pool and communication. We engaged with Talent Finder to assist us with the recruitment of specialist Multimedia developers, roles which we traditionally find it difficult to fill. Very quickly, they had identified a number of potential candidates for us. The communication and support has been excellent throughout. I highly recommend this company.”
“Would never go back to using a local recruitment agency. The pros and cons weigh heavily in TalentFinder's favour. Excellent service from start to finish.”
Is this for you?
Who it's for — and who it isn't
Watch it if you…
- Hire 1–10 skilled roles a year in Ireland
- Have been quoted 15–25% of salary by an agency
- Have a hard-to-fill or niche role open right now
- Want a shortlist of interviewed candidates, not a CV flood
Skip it if you…
- Run high-volume/RPO recruitment (different model)
- Only ever hire minimum-wage volume roles — our €499 advertising product fits better
Quick answers
- Is it really free? Yes — it's a training, and at the end we show what working with us costs. You'll know the offer is coming; there's no ambush.
- Do I have to attend at a set time? No. It's recorded — it starts the moment you register, and we email you the link so you can finish later.
- How long is it? 20 minutes, and the fee maths lands in the first five.
- Are the examples in euro? Examples in the training are quoted in sterling — Irish pricing is the euro bands above (Standard €1,800 up to Executive €4,300), with no VAT to add.
