Fixed-fee pricing
Know exactly what your recruitment will cost before the campaign begins. No percentages. No unexpected invoices. No awkward fee negotiations.
Recruitment should cost what the work costs.
Traditional recruitment fees are usually based on a percentage of salary.
We think the fee should reflect the work involved—not how much you decide to pay your new employee.
Hirespring gives businesses access to an experienced recruitment team for one transparent price.
No surprise invoices. No percentage calculations. No compromise on quality.
Why Hirespring
Everything you need to make a great hire.
Proactive candidate search
We do more than upload an advert and wait. Our recruiters actively search job boards, databases, professional networks and the wider candidate market.
Quality shortlists
Every candidate is reviewed and screened before being introduced. You receive relevant, interview-ready people—not a pile of unsuitable CVs.
Fully managed process
We manage candidate communication, interview arrangements, feedback, offers and negotiations. You stay informed without having to chase every stage.
A smarter alternative to traditional recruitment fees.

“We filled a senior sales role in under four weeks — and paid the same fixed fee we would have paid for a junior appointment.”
“They took the time to understand our business properly before sending anyone. The shortlist reflected that.”
“Three technical hires on fixed fees. On percentage terms that would have cost us four times more.”
“Shift-based roles are the hardest thing we recruit for. The adverts and candidate packs finally did the site justice.”
“Budgeting was the win for us. One number, agreed up front, no renegotiation when the salary came in higher than planned.”
“Our supply chain planner is still with us two years on. That is worth more than any rebate clause.”
