The fee is not the whole cost — and we will say so
Our fee sits on top of what it costs to employ your hire in India: their salary and the statutory employer contributions that go with it. Any provider quoting you one low monthly number is either bundling those in or leaving them out, and it is worth finding out which before you compare.
So the honest way to read our pricing is: their salary + Indian statutory costs + our fee = your monthly invoice. Nothing else is added. For most support roles that lands somewhere between £650 and £950 a month all in; for senior engineering roles it is higher, because the salary is.
Ask us for a fully loaded monthly figure for one specific role and we will send it as a single number you can put in a budget. That is the figure worth comparing against a UK salary, and against another provider.

FAQ
Pricing questions
Is there a setup fee?
No. There is no setup fee, no onboarding fee and no charge to begin a search.
Is recruitment really included?
Yes. Sourcing, screening, skills testing and shortlisting are covered by the monthly fee. There is no placement fee and no percentage of first-year salary — which is the single biggest difference between this and using a recruitment agency.
When does the fee drop to the next tier?
The tier is set by how many people you have with us in total. At five hires you move to £149 per person. Above 20 we quote per engagement — it will not be more than the 5–20 rate. The new rate applies across your whole team, not just the additional hires.
What is the minimum term?
There is no minimum term and no fixed contract length. Either side gives one month’s notice. You are never locked into a year to get a monthly price.
What happens to the fee if our hire leaves?
Billing stops when the employment ends, under the notice terms in the agreement. If they leave inside the settling-in period, the replacement search is included.
Do you mark up the salary or the statutory costs?
No. The employment cost line on your invoice is what it costs to employ them. Our margin is the fee, and it is the number on this page.
