Growing
together.
One hire at a time.
Fixed Fee Recruitment, DIY job advertising, and Talentvine, our applicant tracking system. Three ways to hire good people, at a price that reflects the work, not the salary.
Three solutions.
One honest approach.
Post the role yourself. One credit puts your advert across the major UK job boards, with every application landing in one place, ready to manage. We've set everything up; you stay in control.

Most agencies charge 15 to 25% of the first-year salary. Workvine charges a fixed fee, banded by salary. Set the salary and the rate you're quoted, and see the difference.
A percentage fee doesn't just cost you money.
It costs you time.
Every hire saved is money back in the business. But the bigger story isn't one hire, it's what happens when you're hiring across a whole year.
When the fee scales with salary, the cost of growing your team climbs with it. To fund that responsibly, out of real cashflow, most businesses end up pacing their hiring to fit the fee budget rather than the actual need. The fees set the speed, not the business.
Fix the fee, and that changes. The money you'd have spent on percentage fees stays in the business, which means you can afford to hire when the work demands it, not when the budget finally allows. You grow at the speed your business actually needs.
"The savings don't just sit on the balance sheet. They let you build the team years sooner."
One manufacturer. 31 hires. The maths that made it possible.
Take the UK manufacturer in our case study. They ran 31 hiring campaigns across two sites on a fixed fee. At a typical 15% fee, that volume of hiring would have run well into six figures. On fixed fee, it was a fraction of that.
That difference is the gap between hiring you can afford and hiring you have to postpone. They built the headcount they needed, when they needed it, instead of staggering it across years to keep the fee bill manageable.
Smart tools.
Human decisions.
We use AI to take the weight out of the work around hiring: research, admin, and creative work like drafting adverts and producing assets. It makes us quicker, and it keeps our fees low.
But the candidate work stays human. Sifting applications, reading CVs and spotting the strong candidates is a recruiter's job here, not a machine's. AI never talks to your candidates, and it never decides who gets hired.
2,538 candidates. 31 hires.
One fixed fee.
"The quality of the candidates has been spot-on. 100% of their shortlists go to interview, which is why I now trust them enough to blind-book directly into my diary and my managers' diaries."
Don't take our
word for it.
Should have used you guys 12 months prior.
The approach felt almost like having someone in-house without the hassle of multiple agencies.
What sets this service apart from the rest is the complete transparency – no hidden fees, and no pressure to inflate salaries to boost commissions. The fixed-fee model is a game-changer.
"We started Fixed Fee Recruitment in 2023 because the maths never made sense. The tools for finding people have come a long way since the 90s. The fees haven't. We charge for the work as it is now."
The bits clients usually ask first.
No. The fixed fee is the total cost. There's no additional charge based on the candidate's salary or notice period. We invoice upfront for the work we'll do, not on hire or when an offer is signed.
Most roles are filled within 14 to 28 days of briefing, depending on the market. Campaign duration runs 4 to 6 weeks depending on tier. We'll give you a realistic timeframe before we start.
Talk to us. We'll discuss the situation and agree the right next step. We're a small business and we want every hire to work out as much as you do.
Yes. Get in touch to discuss volume pricing if you're hiring across multiple roles.
Yes. Talentvine, our ATS, is available on its own. You don't need to use our recruitment services to access it. It's a separate subscription product.
