HR Outsourcing, Interim HR, and Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) contracts are structured as ongoing retainers with a minimum monthly number of hours.
HR and Recruiting Consulting engagements are typically priced as a flat-fee, value-based or a capped fee, depending on the project and deliverable at hand.
Executive Search, Direct Hire, and HR Placements are on an exclusive retainer basis, where we collect a percentage of the candidate’s total annual compensation.
Some of the most frequent questions we get asked regarding our contracts are below.
What do your rates look like?
Our hourly rates for Human Resources Outsourcing, Recruiting Process Outsourcing, and HR Consulting range from $100-250 per hour depending upon expertise. For retained search, we charge clients between 20-30% of the candidate's first-year total annual compensation, also depending upon the position and expertise.
Are there any other costs?
Helios charges for travel expenses to go on-site outside of Reston, Virginia. In cases where there could be an additional expense, we seek your approval of prior to incurring, such as a job posting on a niche career board.
Can I commit to a lesser number of hours upfront and pay overages as needed?
We aim to get a close as possible to the anticipated support needed to accomplish your goals and objectives upfront. It’s helpful to secure your dedicated consultant and engagement hours in advance as we plan around client commitments and consultant availability. That said, we know things come up unexpectedly, and we are flexible scaling up or down as needed.
Do you offer a guarantee for your retained search services?
Yes. If for any reason other than position elimination, the new hire we recruited for you ends up leaving your business, we will conduct a replacement search at no additional fee within 90 days.
