02 / Common questions
Before you
send a role.
What is included in the package?
The estimate uses the total first-year package, including base salary, superannuation and guaranteed bonuses or allowances.
What if the hire does not work out?
Placements include a replacement guarantee. The applicable period is shown in your agreed terms.
Can fees be tailored?
Yes. The calculator starts from the ideal 17% role baseline and shows the changes for search conditions, role complexity and process commitments. The agreed rate is confirmed in writing.
Are there upfront costs?
Not for contingent recruitment. You pay on success when the candidate starts.
Why does exclusivity change the fee?
An exclusive search lets us commit more focused research and delivery capacity, which is reflected in the estimate.
