Does the headhunting company charge individual job seekers?

Headhunting companies provide high-end talent recruitment services for enterprises. They only charge service fees from enterprises to help candidates choose a better and bigger platform and development space, and do not charge personal fees. If you encounter a headhunting company that collects personal fees, you must be vigilant! Don't be routine!

Headhunting company fee standard

How much do headhunters charge? Enterprises entrust the positions they need to recruit to headhunting companies, and headhunting companies need to charge a certain headhunting service commission according to the positions. The charging standard mainly depends on three aspects: rate, payment method and guarantee period.

Premium rate

Foreign headhunting companies are more than 30 years earlier than domestic headhunting companies, so now there are many foreign-funded or Sino-foreign joint-venture headhunting companies in China, and the rate of such companies is generally around 30%-35%.

The general rate of domestic headhunting companies is about 20%-30%, depending on the company's difficulty, scarcity, job level and salary.

payment types/methods

The charging methods of headhunting companies can be divided into three types:

I. Prepayment expenses:

After the cooperation agreement is reached, the enterprise will pay an advance payment ranging from1-30,000 yuan, which can be used for job recruitment expenses, and the rest will be collected in one lump sum after job recruitment. (Advance payment customers will be more actively recommended by general headhunting partners, with higher success rate and shorter cycle)

B. Pay by results:

Generally, advance payment is not accepted, and the first payment is paid for the recruitment position, which is generally 50%-80% of the total cost, and the final payment is paid after the applicant is insured.

C. Payment by process:

Recommend your resume, and make sure to hand it in 25% before the interview, 25% after the interview, 25% after the job and 25% after the guarantee period. The specific proportion can be determined through consultation.

After-sales service: service guarantee period

The security period of a candidate after employment is generally 1-3 months, and for some extremely high-end positions, the security period can be as long as 6 months if necessary. If the candidate leaves the company, the headhunting company can replace the candidate once for free. After the expiration of the guarantee period, the post headhunting service ends.

What needs to be emphasized here is that the guarantee period is not equal to the probation period of the candidate, but the service guarantee of the headhunting company to the enterprise customers, which can also be understood as the probation period of the customers.
