Why We Don’t Charge Upfront Fees – And Why You Should Never Pay Them
Recruitment is an investment, but it shouldn’t be a gamble. Many agencies ask for upfront fees or retainers before they’ve even started working on your vacancy. At Simon Lincoln Recruitment Solutions, we take a different approach – one that puts your business first. We only charge you when we successfully fill your role, meaning there’s no risk in trusting us with your vacancy. Here’s why that matters.
No Risk, No Cost Until We Deliver
When you partner with a recruitment agency, you’re looking for a solution, not another expense. Upfront fees force you to pay for a service before you’ve seen any results. What happens if they don’t find the right candidate? What if the agency drags its feet? You’ve already paid, so there’s no real incentive for them to work at speed or to the highest standard.
With us, you only pay when we deliver. This keeps us accountable, motivated, and focused on getting the right person in place as quickly as possible.
Quality Over Commitment
Retained recruitment models often mean businesses commit financially before seeing any value. But why should you commit to an agency before they’ve proven their worth? If an agency is confident in its ability to deliver, it shouldn’t need an upfront fee to get started.
We believe in building relationships based on trust and results.
That’s why we’re happy to take on your vacancy without any upfront commitment – because we know we’ll fill it.
