Recruiting & Staffing Models

Find the model you run

Every recruiting firm works two desks. A demand desk that wins clients and surfaces orders, and a supply desk that find recruits to fill the orders. The demand desk is the same across all three models. The supply desk, and the economics behind it, differ by type of firm. Pick your model to see the value we deliver specific to your model.

Model 01

Staffing

Markup on hours billed · both desks

You place workers on your payroll and bill the client a higher weekly rate, capturing the difference. The engine runs both desks concurrently.

Archetype: large contract-staffing houses.
Model 02

Contingency

Fee on the hire · demand + placement supply

You are paid a percentage of first-year comp, and only when someone is hired. Volume is supply-led, traced from sendouts back to a candidate pool, and priced on producer count. Container, the engaged variant that takes a deposit upfront, runs on the same engine.
