Our fees

Want to stay flexible in your search for a new colleague?

Then collaborating on a ‘We cure, you pay’ basis is an excellent choice. With this model, you only pay for a successful placement, with a fee of 25% of the gross annual salary on a full-time basis. Costs are therefore variable and directly tied to the salary.

This approach allows you to maintain full freedom of choice while we focus on strengthening your team. At Search X, we prioritize quality and take the workload off your hands, providing our services with maximum care and precision—without imposing exclusivity.

Looking for an accessible and effective way to fill your vacancies? ‘We cure, you pay’ is exactly what you need.

With the Retained model, we strengthen our partnership and enhance mutual commitment. By making an upfront payment of 1/3 of the expected total fee, you confirm the exclusivity of our collaboration. The remaining amount is invoiced upon signing the employment agreement. This ensures that your vacancy receives the highest priority, allowing us to focus entirely on finding the right candidate. We will introduce at least 2 suitable candidates within 5 working days.

The total fee amounts to 22,5% of the gross annual salary on a full-time basis. This model is ideal for ongoing or specialized roles where speed, certainty, and exclusivity are critical.

With Retained, we guarantee maximum effort and deliver the best possible results for your organization.

Looking for a guaranteed hire while spreading out the costs? With X=, your talent subscription, that’s exactly what you get!

With X=, you pay 3% of the gross annual salary per month for a maximum of 12 months. This allows you to spread the costs while keeping your budget flexible. The subscription also covers all recruitment activities for the role in question.

What makes X= unique is that the subscription automatically ends if the candidate leaves. If your new hire departs within an agreed timeframe, we’ll find a replacement at no extra cost. This way, we take on the risk, ensuring you stay on track with the right talent.

With X=, you benefit from flexibility, security, and a guarantee of continuity in your search for the best talent.

Temp-to-Perm is our unique collaboration model that’s gaining popularity. The concept is simple: we provide a professional who works at your organization for a set period (for example, one year). If the collaboration proves successful, you have the option to offer them a permanent contract at the end of this period.

During the temporary period, Search X acts as the official employer. This means we handle all administrative and legal responsibilities, giving you complete peace of mind. Plus, you’re not immediately tied to a long-term contract, making this an ideal solution for businesses seeking flexibility.

The rates for Temp-to-Perm are based on an hourly wage with a conversion factor, customized to the role, the candidate’s experience, and the applicable industry collective labor agreement (CAO). This ensures a tailored solution that meets your needs.

Temp-to-Perm offers the best of both worlds: the flexibility of temporary staffing combined with the potential to add a valuable professional to your team on a permanent basis.

In addition to recruitment, we offer solutions for temp and freelance assignments.

Whether you need a temporary professional for a specific project or a freelancer ready to hit the ground running, we help you find the perfect match.

For temp assignments, we use an hourly rate with a conversion factor tailored to the role and your specific needs. For freelance assignments, we apply a transparent margin. Both options are fully customized and provide the flexibility your organization requires.

All temp and freelance assignments are managed through our specialized label, Work X Consulting. For more information, visit workxconsulting.com. Have questions or want to discuss the possibilities? Feel free to call or email us!
