The Traditional Agency Model

Traditional recruiting agencies often charge 20–30% of a new hire’s first-year salary. For that fee, they may spend limited time learning your company, send a stack of resumes, and step away once the placement is complete.

If the employee leaves a few months later, your company may be left starting the hiring process again.

Cost Example

For a candidate earning $120,000 per year, a traditional agency fee could range from $24,000 to $36,000.
