Simplified pricing model
you only pay while they stay.
Agencies usually charge 15–30% of first-year salary. We often charge 4–8%, usually 40–70% less, because our fee is based on the B2B rate abroad, which is generally lower than a salary at home. It’s split into four payments, and if they leave, the payments stop. Simple as that.

Typical agency fees in Europe range from 15% to 30% of first-year salary. Sources: hiring-hub.com · tb-group.se · recruitmentcenter.nl
Good questions

What happens if the hire leaves?
The remaining payments stop. If someone leaves after two months, you have paid 75% of the fee, not 100%.
