Offer Negotiation
We take care of drafting offer letters, handling salary discussions, and guiding your new employee through the onboarding process. Retaining employees begins with providing an excellent candidate experience.
FAQβs
FAQs About Our Services
Several founders have told us, "This seems too good to be true."
So, let us answer any questions you may have. If not addressed below, reach out here and we'll be glad to discuss your personalized goals and plans.
Great question. We can offer a lower placement fee (10% instead of 25% of the annual salary) because we charge for the time spent in sourcing and qualifying candidates on a monthly retainer basis. This arrangement benefits both us and our clients. We secure a steady income, and our clients only incur a placement fee when a candidate begins their role. This fosters a longer-term partnership!
You'll be billed for work performed on a fixed monthly payment. You will be billed the 8% annual salary placement fee only once the candidate starts work. You'll only pay the 8% fee if it is a candidate that we sourced for you.
In our pricing model, everyone wins. For you, the business owner, you'll pay less in fees for recruiting services. Because you'll pay less, you can afford to hire more employees (if you choose to do so). The candidate will also get a better hiring experience from having a dedicated recruiter working on your company's behalf.
And Embedded Recruiting will benefit because we are mitigating our risk by getting to invoice regardless if you hire our candidate. In the 25% fee model, the recruiter doesn't get paid at all unless they source and close the candidate. In our 8% model, we will get the invoice regardless, but maybe not the 8%. So this allows us to reduce risk on our end as well. We all win!
