Recruitment fees have been a percentage of salary for decades. The fee went up with the pay packet. The work stayed the same. The tools for finding people have come a long way since the 90s. The fees haven't.
Workvine charges for the work as it is now.
We're an independent recruitment technology and services business based in Hinckley, Leicestershire, working with companies across the UK. We help businesses hire well without the agency-sized bill, and without handing over a slice of every salary.
Three ways we do that:
Fixed Fee Recruitment — the full agency process for one price agreed up front. We write the advert, source actively, screen every applicant, run structured video interviews, build the shortlist and support you through to offer. One fixed fee, invoiced on go-live. No percentage, no success fee, no escalator. Typically 14 to 28 days to hire.
DIY Recruitment — self-serve job advertising on a pay-and-post model. One credit puts your branded advert in front of around ten UK job boards at once. No contract, no subscription, no minimum term.
Talentvine — our applicant tracking system, for companies that recruit regularly and run hiring in-house. Multi-board posting, applicant tracking, automated candidate responses and hiring manager tools.
We use smart tools to work faster behind the scenes. But AI never talks to your candidates and never decides who gets hired. Every screening conversation is a real person on a video call.
