RPO pricing NZ

RPO pricing: fixed fees instead of percentages

Transparent fixed-fee RPO for NZ SMEs. Compare monthly retainer, project and hourly models against traditional 15–20% agency fees.

The commercial argument

The difference is not marginal

A traditional agency charging 15–20% on five hires at a $70,000 salary costs $52,500 to $70,000. The same five hires under a fixed-fee model cost a fraction of that, and the difference is not marginal — it is the cost of another employee.

That example is arithmetic, not a promise of your quote. Your number depends on roles, locations and weeks. The shape does not change: percentage invoices grow with every hire. A scoped fee does not, once the brief is agreed.

Three models

Monthly, project, hourly

01

Monthly retainer

A defined number of weeks of embedded recruiting. Best when vacancies will keep arriving for a quarter.

02

Per-project

A named headcount and close date. Best for “hire these twenty”, then stop.

03

Hourly

Short cover or a messy pipeline clean-up. Best when the work is real but the volume is not yet a campaign.
