What are the disadvantages of contingent recruitment?

The main drawback of contingency recruitment lies in the inherent absence of a committed partnership from the recruiter. Since they only receive payment if the company hires a candidate, recruiters tend to prioritize contracts with higher pay and easier placements, often leaving an inadequate focus on understanding the company’s brand, value proposition, and products or services. As a result, speed becomes the driving force, as recruiters aim to secure placements swiftly to maximise their earnings. The phrase “you get what you pay for” holds particularly true.

Will I have to pay a fee upfront?

If you use fee based recruitment (as described above) then the answer is No.  You only pay the agreed fee once the placement has been successful and the candidate has commenced employment, the fee you pay will have a rebate applied in relation to the “terms of business” should the candidate leave within an agreed time period.
