ZenPeak Pricing
We operate in a fundamentally different way from other search firms. Our fees are tied in to how we run our business.
ZenPeak Pricing
- zenPeak fees are lower: Recruiting fees at other companies are too high: they typically range from 17% up to 30% at other companies. With the emergence of new technologies and social networks, Recruiters can’t pretend that they have some sort of inside track anymore. They better dedicate the Time, Process and Resources to deliver value to a Client. They better work with the Client’s Candidates as well, to make sure the best people are considered & hired. We have a businessperson’s perspective; what would we pay in today’s business environment?
- No Shortcuts: Contingency Recruiters are forced to send in resumes as fast as they can because they are competing with other Recruiters on a job search. This doesn’t result in a positive outcome for anyone. Clients don”t get what they pay for. Recruiters only get paid on about 20% of the work they do. Our approach is different. We do a lot more upfront – before your first face to face interview with Candidates. (see below in FAQ) Is having an old-school Recruiter vendor list a guarantee of value and performance? Is it really a best-practice? or is a vendor list just the easy way to manage HR?
- We pass on savings to our paying Clients: We get paid for every search we work on: No speculative assignments – as a result, zenPeak fees are lower. If we work on a success basis, it is an opportunity we have created; We have a great Candidate, where we have identified a Client who may be interested, and we present the Candidate.
- Clients and Candidates in balance : You can see from our website, our job alerts apps, our 3 Second Resume app, our career guides and many other resources, that we are dedicated. Delivering great people to Clients who need help to solve problems, and are building great organizations and businesses.
Our fees are 5% fixed (due on contract signing at the start) and 10% success (due on hiring). There is a reduction to 8% success (due on hiring) if paid within 10 calendar days of hiring.
Net 13% (5% + 8%)
