Three ways to work with us. Which one fits depends on whether you're filling a single key position, building out several comparable roles, or need additional recruiting capacity for a defined period.
For individual key positions. No retainer, no upfront costs: the fee falls due only on a successful placement.
For several comparable hires. One search profile, one shared pipeline - and a price per hire that falls as the volume grows.
Additional recruiting capacity for your team at a monthly fixed price. You invest predictably in advance; we fill roles and help build process and pipeline.
Success-based. No placement, no fee.
of the target annual salary
(base + variable)
On an exclusive mandate. The fee falls due only when the candidate signs the employment contract.
You pay only on success. No retainer, no upfront costs and no ongoing budget risk. We run the search and are paid only when your new hire signs.
Included are the market map, the search profile, direct approach, interview coordination, references and support through to contract signature. On top of that comes our replacement guarantee.
A fixed price per hire instead of a percentage fee. When one search profile can be used for several hires, the price per hire falls.
| Scope | Per hire |
|---|---|
| 3 - 4 roles | €18,000 |
| 5 - 7 roles | €16,000 |
| from 8 roles | €13,000 |
For several comparable positions we build the market map and pipeline once and use them for further hires. We pass that efficiency on as a lower fixed price per hire.
For you that means a predictable amount per head instead of an invoice that grows with the salary. We agree the exact terms in the first conversation.
We become part of your recruiting team for a defined period. You pay a fixed monthly amount in advance, and there is no success fee at all. No minimum term. 30 days' notice to the end of the month.
1 role at a time
Sourcing or end-to-end recruiting for one live search. Ideal when internal capacity is missing but recruiting responsibility should be topped up flexibly.
3–4 roles in parallel
A dedicated Defence Talent Partner, closely embedded in your team - for ongoing sourcing, candidate management and recruiting across several positions.
Equivalent to around 0.5 talent partner capacity
5+ roles in parallel
A dedicated Defence Talent Partner for your company. We run recruiting end-to-end, help build process and pipeline, and appear to candidates as part of your team.
Equivalent to one full talent partner capacity
All prices are exclusive of VAT.
A clearly defined single role with no ongoing demand: the success fee. You pay only if we deliver and carry no risk.
Several comparable roles within one period: the fixed-price package. The market map is built once, the pipeline is used several times, and you still pay per head and only on success.
Ongoing demand, several different roles at the same time, and a recruiting team that isn't set up for it: embedded. Cheapest per hire, but monthly rather than success-based, and the pipeline, process and market knowledge stay with you afterwards.
The agreed gross annual base salary plus any contractually committed variable components in the first year.
For the success fee, on signature of the candidate's contract. For embedded, monthly in advance. For the fixed-price package we agree the payment steps in the first conversation.
In practice, that rarely leads to better results. In the defence and dual-use environment in particular, the relevant candidate market is small. When several firms work on the same position in parallel, the same candidates are often approached more than once, sometimes within a few days. It comes across as uncoordinated and weakens the company's position in the candidate market.
We fill the role again. The terms are set out in the framework agreement.
In the first 7 days we sharpen the requirement profile, analyse the market and start the outreach. Our mandates so far have taken five to ten weeks to placement, and in the fastest case the first shortlist was ready after six days.
Yes. There is no minimum term and the notice period is 30 days to the end of the month.
In the first conversation we look together at roles, volume and timeframe and recommend the model that fits your situation best, commercially and operationally.
