To keep things simple we decided we would charge 15% of the base salary of any hires you make through The Hiring Exchange for the entirety of your membership, this is because we feel you will soon see the benefits of working with us for all of your recruitment going forward and this will be capped at a minimum of £5k and a maximum of £15k.
And what’s more, you don’t pay until you hire. That’s right, if you don’t hire during one of our demo days, you don’t pay! This puts us below the average recruiter who might charge £30–45k, but their recruitment will probably be slow, misaligned, annoying. Posting on job boards like you have constantly done before and you could be paying somewhere in the region of £5–10k, and comes with tons of noise, low signal.
Standard Pricing
If you’d rather not take up a founder cohort spot but still want to get involved with the new way to recruit we have implemented the following pricing structure.
- £2k–£3k to participate in a cohort
- 12–15% success fee on hire
Also remember that we…
❌ Don’t charge per listing
❌ Don’t charge per profile view
❌ Don’t charge per demo day ticket (for companies)
❌ Don’t underprice “to get adoption”
This provides a hiring shortcut for companies that are already winning and don’t want noise.
Who is this for? High-momentum startups hiring 1–5 people in the next 6 months who want signal, not volume.
The final offer:
- 15% success fee on first-year base salary
- Locked in for life
- £5k minimum / £15k cap
- Pay only on successful hire
- 90-day replacement guarantee
