What we charge
Three ways in. Process work priced per milestone. Same prices in Riyadh as in Amsterdam.
Three ways in. Embedded is $5,000 a month for up to three live roles. Embedded Plus is $8,500 a month for a dedicated full time recruiter and up to five live roles. A success fee covers one hard role at a time, at 15 to 25% of first year salary. Process and automation work is scoped as milestones, each priced before anything is touched. Same prices in Riyadh as in Amsterdam.
What are the three ways in?
| Tier | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Embedded | 20 hours a week, up to three live roles, swapped as they close. Sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer and close, hiring-manager coaching, weekly reporting. Three month minimum. Pause and return. | $5,000 a month |
| Embedded Plus | A dedicated full time recruiter, up to five live roles. Everything in Embedded. Month one includes a written review of your hiring process. | $8,500 a month |
| Success fee | One hard role at a time, when embedded isn't right yet. Set by seniority and scarcity. Agreed in writing. Paid on start date. | 15 to 25% of first year salary |
Billed in USD. The monthly fee does not move because you hired someone senior, and it does not move mid-engagement unless the scope does. Full detail on the embedded recruitment page.
How is process work priced?
| Typical milestones | Price |
|---|---|
| ATS setup or rebuild. Pipelines, stages, templates, reporting, in your own account. | Per milestone, agreed before it starts |
| Scorecards and interview loops. What good looks like for each role, and a loop every interviewer runs the same way. | Per milestone, agreed before it starts |
| Automation. Enrichment, connections between tools, outreach tracked through your ATS, scheduling, reporting. Whatever the review says is slow. | Per milestone, agreed before it starts |
| Maintenance after handover. Only if you want us running the workflows rather than your team. | Monthly, quoted once the workflows exist |
We do not quote milestones blind, because a number given blind is a number someone regrets. Every milestone has a number and an expected result before it starts, nothing gets built that was not agreed, and everything we build stays with you.
What about agents?
Pilot pricing is scoped after the diagnosis. Build is milestone priced. Maintenance optional, quoted once built. No licence fee to us after handover. More on the agents page.
Standalone projects
Sourcing as a service and hiring process design are still available on their own, priced per search or per project and quoted in writing after the diagnosis.
What is included, and what is not?
In Embedded and Embedded Plus: sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer and close support, hiring-manager coaching and weekly pipeline reporting.
Priced as milestones: ATS setup or rebuild, scorecards and interview design, automation builds, and maintenance after handover.
Not included: job board spend, assessment platform licences, background checks, candidate travel, and any tooling bought in your name. Passed through at cost with no markup, or bought by you directly, whichever you prefer.
How does it compare to an agency?
A typical agency charges around 20% of first year salary per hire. On three $80,000 hires that is $48,000, and you own nothing when the invoices are paid. Four months on Embedded is $20,000, plus whichever milestones you chose to build, and you keep the process, the pipeline and the workflows. Embedded wins from about the second hire. For one hard role and then nothing, a success fee is the cheaper tool, and the diagnosis will say so.
Three senior engineers at €90,000 each: an agency at 20% costs €54,000. Embedded for 4 months costs $20,000.
What if a role does not fill? On Embedded you have still paid for the month. What you own is the pipeline, the scorecards and the process, and they carry into the next role. If that trade is wrong for your stage, the free diagnosis exists to tell you before you spend anything.
Why do we publish this?
You don't need a discovery call to find out what this costs. If the number does not work for your stage, that is a useful thing to find out in thirty seconds instead of thirty minutes. If it does work, the call can be about your roles.
