Direct Hire Recruitment
We find and screen the candidates; you employ them directly. A simple model with a one-time placement fee.
Direct Recruitment Model
Hire Directly, Pay Once
Direct hire keeps employment with you while we handle the search and screening.
Many employers want to hire staff onto their own payroll and manage employment themselves, but do not have the time or reach to find the right candidates. Direct hire recruitment solves that: we run the search, screening and shortlisting, and you make the offer and employ the candidate directly.
Our Direct Recruitment model is charged as a one-time placement fee. If you would rather we also handle mobilisation — documentation, visa steps and travel — our Full Recruitment model covers the complete process.
