How much do foreign headhunters charge?

The charging method of headhunters in foreign companies can be different according to specific agreements and contracts. The following are some common ways for foreign companies to charge headhunters:

1. Fixed fee: the headhunter and the client company agree on a fixed service fee in advance, and the headhunter will charge this fee regardless of whether the candidate is finally recruited successfully or not.

2. Percentage fee: the fee for headhunting is based on the salary level or annual salary of successful candidates. Usually headhunting expenses account for a certain proportion of a candidate's first annual salary, which can vary according to the level of the position and the industry.

3. Staged charging: headhunters can charge in stages according to different stages in the recruitment process. For example, a part of the fees will be paid after the shortlist of candidates is determined, and the remaining fees will be paid after the candidates are finally hired.

4. Customized fees: In some cases, headhunters can negotiate with client companies to formulate customized fees to meet specific recruitment needs and requirements.

No matter which charging method is adopted, the headhunting fee is usually borne by the client company. The specific charging standard and payment method should be clearly stipulated in the headhunting service contract. If you have specific needs and budget constraints, it is recommended that you clearly discuss and negotiate with headhunting companies before cooperating with them to ensure that both parties reach an agreement on the fee arrangement.
