Fees & terms

No upfront cost.

Direct Hire works on contingency — we work for free until someone is placed, and the terms below are written into every client agreement.

Contingency basis

We work for free until someone is placed. Nothing upfront, and if you end up not hiring for any reason, it is our loss. Fees are tiered by position level and quoted at intake.

Replacement guarantee

If a placement does not work out within the first 60 days, we replace the candidate and issue a credit toward the search, on a sliding scale by day. Full terms are set out in the client agreement.

Invoicing

Invoiced on the start date

The placement fee is invoiced on the new hire's first day of work. You are billed once, after someone starts.

Wages

No ongoing markup

Unlike a temp or contract arrangement, there is no hourly spread. Your new employee is on your payroll at the wage you agreed, and we take nothing out of it.
