Time Scale

As a general rule, we should be able to provide a shortlist of candidates within 10 working days of any assignment being confirmed to us.

In order to move the recruitment process along as swiftly as possible, we appreciate prompt feedback. This also enables us to maintain the interest of candidates and is likely to assist in achieving a successful outcome for each assignment.


Fee Structure

Profile's fee, which is payable by the employers is calculated as a percentage of the gross salary package in accordance with the following schedule:

Gross Salary Package Rate:
Salaries from £30,000 US$50,000 €45,000 25 %
Salaries under £30,000 US$50,000 €45,000 20 %

Preferential terms and fixed/capped fees are available in return for client loyalty, exclusive agreements and in cases where a retainer of at least 25 % of the final fee is paid at the outset of the assignment.

"Exclusive" will mean that Profile is given a minimum of 21 days world-wide sole agency.

Please refer to our Terms and Conditions of Business.

Invoicing & Guarantees

Fees will be invoiced in Sterling, US Dollars or Euro, at the date of a verbal or written offer and acceptance of the position.

A copy of the candidate's contract of employment or other relevant agreement must be forwarded to Profile to comply with our industry regulator.
