| First shortlist | 48 hours | Often 1–3 weeks | Depends on team capacity |
| What you receive | 3–5 screened candidates with a fit summary | Often a batch of CVs | Applicants to screen yourself |
| Replacement | 90 days, free, in writing | Often 30–60 days | Re-run the search yourself |
| Visibility | Shared status and weekly report | Updates on request | Your own tracker |

Pricing questions
When do we pay?
For permanent hires, we invoice on the joining date and payment is due within 15 days. Contract staffing is billed monthly. Leadership searches are billed at agreed milestones.
What counts as CTC for the fee?
Annual fixed compensation in the offer letter. We exclude variable pay, joining bonuses, ESOPs and relocation unless you ask us to include them.
Is GST included?
No. GST at 18% is added to every invoice. The calculator on this page shows the total with GST.
How does the 90-day replacement work?
If the hire resigns or is let go for performance within 90 days of joining, we run a new search for the same role at no fee. It does not apply to redundancy or a change in the role's scope.
Are there any other charges?
No hidden fees. Bulk drives, contract staffing and leadership searches are quoted in writing before work starts.
Do you offer discounts for volume?
Yes. Ten or more similar roles run as a bulk hiring drive, with a reduced per-hire fee or a fixed drive fee.
What if we hire a candidate for a different role?
The standard fee for the role they join applies, as long as we introduced them in the past 12 months.
