Common questions about our three candidate search options, what you pay and what happens once a search begins.
Candidate Search (£395) is designed for employers who want vacancy advertising and targeted searches for active candidates. Passive Search (£595) adds identification and initial approaches to suitable people who may not be actively applying. Recruiter-Assisted Search (£895) adds review and shortlisting of up to 100 applications you have already received, together with more intensive recruiter-led sourcing.
Yes. The prices shown are for one agreed vacancy search. If you have several roles to fill, send us the details and we can discuss the most appropriate way to structure the searches.
No. There is no percentage-of-salary placement fee, success fee or recruitment commission if you employ somebody identified through JobMatchedCVs. You pay the fixed price for the search option you choose.
Passive Search includes everything in Candidate Search, but we also look for suitable people who may not be actively applying for jobs. Where appropriate, we can approach them by email and/or LinkedIn to establish whether they are interested in hearing more about your opportunity before relevant candidates are passed to you.
Recruiter-Assisted Search includes everything in Passive Search, plus review of up to 100 existing CV applications, shortlisting against the criteria agreed with you and more intensive recruiter-led sourcing. If you have more than 100 existing applications, we can quote separately for the additional volume.
Yes. If you begin with Candidate Search and decide that you would also like us to look for passive candidates, speak to us and we can discuss upgrading the search. The same applies if you subsequently need more recruiter-assisted support.
Once we have reviewed your vacancy brief, agreed the appropriate search option and received payment, work can begin. Candidate availability and response times will vary depending on the role, location, salary and wider candidate market.
No. Candidate availability varies by role, location, salary and market conditions, so no responsible search service can guarantee that a particular vacancy will result in a hire. You are paying for the agreed advertising, sourcing and recruiter-led search work carried out on your vacancy.
We carry out the sourcing activity included in your chosen package and present the suitable candidates identified through that work. We cannot guarantee that every search will produce a candidate you decide to employ, which is why the fee is for the search service rather than being dependent on a placement.
Once your vacancy brief has been reviewed and the appropriate search option agreed, we issue an invoice for the fixed search fee. Work begins once payment has been received.
Send us the details of the role and we’ll review what you need and recommend the most appropriate search option.
