What the recruiting scope includes

How pricing is set

Role complexity, seniority, market breadth, required schedule, compensation, specialization, assessment design, search urgency, and service scope can affect the fee. The written proposal identifies the amount, any deposit, invoice trigger, payment timing, taxes, scope, and exclusions before work begins; this website does not publish a number before those terms are approved.

What is outside the recruiting fee

Candidate compensation, payroll or EOR fees, benefits, equipment, software, background checks, legal or tax advice, classification decisions, and ongoing management are separate unless a signed agreement explicitly says otherwise. Clear boundaries make offers easier to compare and reduce surprise costs after selection.

Who pays and manages the worker

The client directly employs or contracts with the selected person and chooses its payroll, contractor-payment, or employer-of-record provider. The client also owns supervision, performance management, access controls, equipment, compliance decisions, and the continuing working relationship.

Invoice, replacement, and refund terms

The proposal and services agreement define when an invoice is earned, when it is due, and whether any replacement or refund protection applies. Conditions, client responsibilities, exclusions, and the exact period must be written in the signed agreement; a sales page is not a substitute for those terms.

How to compare recruiting proposals

Compare more than the headline fee. Ask who runs the search, what evidence is collected, whether the shortlist is exclusive, how candidate consent and data are handled, which costs are separate, when payment is triggered, what happens if the role changes, and what support continues after selection.

COMMERCIAL HANDOFF

Move from pricing clarity to the right next action.

Book a fit call, request an approved payment link, or open a configured purchase path only after scope is confirmed.

No undefined public checkout Scope approval before search payment Secure links load only after you choose them

Book the fit call

Use this when scope, timing, budget, or role risk still needs a live decision before a proposal.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

The terms that should be clear before a search.

Who employs or contracts with the person?

First Hire is launching as a direct-hire recruiting partner. The client employs or contracts with the selected person and chooses its own payroll, EOR, or contractor solution.

How is communication assessed?

We evaluate job-relevant clarity, listening, written tone, comprehension, and judgment through live conversation and realistic scenarios. Accent is not a screening criterion.

Are working hours confirmed?

Yes. Required overlap, schedule, start date, and other availability constraints are confirmed before a candidate reaches the shortlist.

A CLEARER NEXT STEP

Bring us the bottleneck. We’ll help name the role.

Start with the work that keeps interrupting your week, plus the timeline and working-hour overlap you need.
