What is Profile Group recruitment pricing?

Recruitment needs are different for every organisation. Some companies need support to recruit one strategic position, others need to hire multiple employees quickly, while some require a long-term recruitment partner to manage part of their talent acquisition activities.

At Profile Group, we believe recruitment pricing should reflect the reality of each recruitment challenge. That is why we offer different pricing models for our recruitment services, allowing companies to choose the approach that best matches their objectives, budget and recruitment strategy.

Whether you need a targeted recruitment campaign, specialist search, assessment support or a fully outsourced recruitment solution, Profile Group provides transparent and flexible pricing options.

  Why does Profile Group offer different recruitment pricing models?

There is no single “best” way to price recruitment services.

The right model depends on several factors:

• The type of role to recruit
• The number of positions to fill
• The difficulty of finding candidates
• The level of recruitment support required
• The company’s internal recruitment capabilities
• The desired level of flexibility

For example:

• A company hiring several employees for the same type of role may prefer a fixed-fee or campaign approach.
• A company looking for a senior executive may prefer a success-based recruitment model.
• A company needing additional recruitment capacity may choose an hourly or daily rate model.

Our objective is to create a recruitment solution that delivers the right balance between cost control, expertise and quality of hire.

  What are the different recruitment pricing models offered by Profile Group?

  1. Credits for recruitment campaigns

In some cases, you prefer to remain in control of the selection process and only need help in candidate sourcing. Talentboost campaigns help you not just reach all active candidates in Belgium but also save a lot of your precious time as you don’t need to take care of the publications and followup. We also give you free access to an ATS tool to manage all the applications.

These campaigns can be bought by unit, the more credits you buy the less they cost individually.

  2. Upfront recruitment fee for candidate attraction

Some recruitment projects require an initial investment to attract candidates and generate visibility.

In this model, Profile Group charges an upfront fee to cover the costs associated with candidate attraction, including:

• • Publication of job advertisements on multiple job boards
  • Optimisation of job advertisements
  • Recruitment marketing activities
  • Visibility campaigns on social media

This approach is particularly relevant when companies want to maximise the reach of their vacancies and attract active candidates efficiently.

  Benefits of an upfront recruitment fee:

• • Transparent initial investment
  • Better visibility for vacancies
  • Access to multiple recruitment channels
  • Professional support in presenting the opportunity to the market

  3. Fixed fee recruitment

With a fixed fee recruitment model, Profile Group agrees on a predetermined price for delivering a recruitment assignment. The cost is defined upfront and does not depend on the candidate’s salary.

This provides companies with:

• • Budget predictability
  • Cost transparency
  • Easier recruitment planning
  • Better control over hiring expenses

Fixed fee recruitment can be suitable for:

• • Standard recruitment assignments
  • Multiple hires
  • Growth projects
  • Recruitment campaigns
  • Companies looking for a clear cost structure

The exact scope of services included depends on the recruitment challenge and can include:

• • Candidate sourcing
  • Screening
  • Interviews
  • Candidate shortlist presentation
  • Recruitment coordination
  • Market feedback

  4. Recruitment fee based on annual salary percentage

The traditional recruitment model is based on a percentage of the candidate’s annual salary. In this approach, the recruitment fee is calculated according to the remuneration package of the successful candidate.

The advantage of this model is that the investment is linked to the level and complexity of the position being recruited.

A senior or highly specialised role generally requires:

• • More extensive sourcing
  • More market research
  • More candidate engagement
  • More complex evaluation

The percentage-based model reflects the level of expertise and effort required to successfully complete the search.

  5. Hourly rate recruitment services

Not every company needs a full recruitment process managed externally. Some organisations already have internal recruitment teams but require additional expertise or capacity during specific stages. For these situations, Profile Group offers hourly rate recruitment support. This model allows companies to select only the services they need.

Examples include:

• • Candidate screening - Profile Group can review applications and identify candidates who match the requirements.

  • Recruitment interviews
    Our recruiters can conduct structured interviews to evaluate:

    • Experience
    • Motivation
    • Competencies
    • Fit with the role

  • Candidate sourcing

    • Our experts can support targeted candidate identification through:

    • LinkedIn sourcing

    • Talent databases

       

• • • Professional networks

  • Assessment support

We can assist with:

• • • Competency-based interviews
    • Candidate evaluation
    • Assessment exercises

  • Benefits of hourly recruitment support:

    • Maximum flexibility
    • Access to recruitment expertise when needed
    • Optimisation of internal recruitment resources
    • Control over recruitment spend

  6. Daily rate model for recruitment outsourcing (RPO)

For organisations with ongoing recruitment needs, Profile Group also provides Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) solutions.

In an RPO model, Profile Group becomes an extension of the client’s recruitment team and provides dedicated recruitment expertise for a defined period.

The pricing is typically based on a daily rate for the recruiter or recruitment consultant assigned to the project. But it can also be a success fee model depending on service level, volume of recruitment, etc…

An RPO solution can include:

• • Recruitment strategy
  • Vacancy management
  • Candidate sourcing
  • Interviews
  • Candidate pipeline management
  • Recruitment reporting
  • Employer branding support

Benefits of RPO:

• • Scalable recruitment capacity
  • Faster access to expertise
  • Reduced internal workload
  • Predictable recruitment investment

  Which Profile Group pricing model is right for you?

The best model depends on your recruitment objectives, not only on the role itself.

  Why choose a flexible recruitment pricing approach?

A flexible pricing strategy allows organisations to:

• Optimise recruitment investment
  Companies only pay for the level of support they need.

• Improve budget control
  Different pricing options make recruitment costs easier to forecast.

• Access specialised expertise
  Organisations can benefit from recruitment professionals without necessarily increasing internal headcount.

• Adapt to changing business needs

  Recruitment requirements can evolve quickly. Flexible models allow companies to scale support up or down.

  Recruitment pricing should be linked to value

At Profile Group, recruitment pricing is not only about the cost of a service. It is about the value created through:

• Access to qualified candidates
• Faster recruitment processes
• Better candidate evaluation
• Reduced hiring risks
• Improved quality of hire

The most effective recruitment solution is the one that helps organisations achieve their hiring objectives in the most efficient way.
