How We Work

At Paul Charles Recruitment, we believe recruitment should be straightforward.

With over 30 years' experience specialising in financial-services recruitment, we provide a personal and proactive service designed to identify the right people for your business.

Our Recruitment Fee

Our standard recruitment fee is:

15% of the successful candidate's first-year basic salary

When you instruct us on a vacancy, an Initial Assignment Fee of £750 is payable.

This fee covers the initial recruitment assignment, including:

• Taking a detailed brief and understanding the role and business
• Advising on the candidate profile and market conditions
• Reviewing and identifying suitable candidates
• Proactive candidate sourcing and search
• Access to our established financial-services network
• Initial candidate screening and qualification
• Managing the recruitment process and keeping you updated

The £750 assignment fee is deducted from the final recruitment fee.

The remaining balance is payable when your successful candidate commences employment.

Example

For a candidate appointed on a basic salary of £28,000:

15% recruitment fee: £4,200

Initial Assignment Fee: £750

Balance payable when the candidate starts: £3,450

12-Week Replacement Guarantee

We want you to have confidence in the people we introduce.

Should a candidate leave, or their employment be terminated, within the first 12 weeks, we will undertake a replacement search for the same position at no additional recruitment fee.

Our replacement guarantee is subject to agreed terms and conditions and applies where the original vacancy and employment terms remain substantially unchanged.
