Fixed-fee pricing for recruitment management.The Direct Way

Aligned to support scope, not salary size.

Let's chat through your role

When organisations typically come to us

Many clients reach out when hiring starts to feel more complex than expected.

When the role needs clearer definition

Sometimes there's a job description, but the responsibilities, priorities or success profile are still evolving. Working through these details together ensures the role is positioned clearly before it reaches the market.

When application volume becomes difficult to manage

A role can attract far more applications than expected, and reviewing CVs can be a struggle. Clients need support with screening and a clear, focused shortlist. We manage the practical steps and the paperwork.

When hiring managers are short on time

Recruitment can quickly become a second full-time job. Clients often want someone to manage the process - applications, evaluation, coordination and communication - while they stay focused on selecting the right candidate.

When agency fees feel disproportionate

Some organisations want professional recruitment support but prefer a model that avoids percentage-based fees tied to salary. Talent Direct provides structured recruitment management with predictable pricing agreed in advance.

Our clients want a clearer, more direct route through the hiring process.

But needs vary. That's why we offer different levels of recruitment management support.

What level of recruitment management support suits you best?

All Talent Direct packages follow the same structured hiring process - from role definition through to shortlist and interview coordination. The difference is how much support you need around evaluation, decision-making and offer management.

Each package includes the review and management of up to 150 applications per role. Once this threshold is reached, we will agree next steps - either progressing with the existing candidate pool or continuing application review at a pre-agreed rate.

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are agreed separately depending on the channels used.

What to expect with Talent Direct

  • Early discussion if application volume shifts

What you won't find here

No silence. No surprises.

Just a clear route through the process from role definition to confident hire.
