26 hires. £180,250 saved.
One fixed fee.
Scaling hiring for a London-based SaaS business on a fixed fee, alongside their in-house team. The same quality, at a fraction of the agency bill.
A SaaS business,
scaling out of London.
The client is a London-based SaaS business, hiring across general and technical roles as the company grew. They already ran an in-house talent acquisition team, but were leaning on recruitment agencies to keep up with demand.
Good hiring,
expensive hiring.
- Recruiting through agencies at 15% of salary for general roles and 20% for technical hires.
- An in-house talent acquisition team already running, but costs climbing with every agency placement.
- A 45-day average time to hire that was holding up the wider hiring plan.
- A need to scale hiring without scaling the recruitment bill.
Fixed Fee Recruitment,
role by role.
Each vacancy scoped on its own terms, rather than a one-size template across very different roles.
Written for the role and posted under the client’s brand, distributed across multiple job boards.
Proactive search across CV databases and social profiles to reach candidates who weren’t actively applying.
Structured pre-screening and video interviews before anyone reached the in-house team.
Curated shortlists, then interview scheduling handled end to end.
Offers managed to acceptance, with the whole process tracked in Talentvine, our ATS.
The work, in numbers.
Across 31 fixed-fee campaigns, all handled in Talentvine.
Coordinated end to end, so the in-house team only met qualified candidates.
5 roles still open at the time of writing. 100% retention on those hired.
"Not only have we achieved savings with their fixed-fee model, but they've also freed up significant time for our PX team… Overall, Workvine has been a fantastic partner."
"We liked that you only sent through the very best candidates… A cost-effective service, whilst providing very real tangible value."
Same quality.
Less cost. Faster.
