Subject: Inquiry on Recruitment Rates for Multiple Hires
Hello everyone,
I’m seeking some advice from the community. Our small recruitment agency specializes in hiring field-based engineers, which frequently leads us to recruit several engineers for various locations for the same client.
I’d love to hear if anyone has experience in this area. Do you adjust your fees when filling multiple positions for a single company? For example, do you maintain your standard rates, or do you provide discounted rates for multiple hires?
I appreciate any insights you can share!
Thank you!

Hi there!
I can definitely relate to your situation as many recruitment agencies face similar challenges when recruiting multiple candidates for the same client.
In terms of adjusting your rates for multiple hires, it often depends on several factors, including your relationship with the client, the demand for the positions, and your agency’s overall pricing strategy. Here are a few considerations that might help:
Volume Discounts: Offering a lower rate for multiple hires can be appealing to clients and may encourage them to partner with you for future needs. This could be a fixed discount or a tiered structure based on the number of hires.
Standard Rates for Quality: If your agency has built a reputation for delivering high-quality candidates, maintaining your standard rate might be justified, especially if you are providing specialized or hard-to-find talent.
Negotiation Flexibility: Each client is different. You might want to assess their needs and budget when deciding how to price. Being flexible can help foster a good relationship and potentially lead to more business down the line.
Cost Considerations: Remember to factor in the costs associated with finding, interviewing, and onboarding multiple candidates. If the effort is significantly increased, it may not be viable to lower your rates.
Ultimately, it could be worthwhile to discuss this openly with your clients as well. Many times, they appreciate transparency and may have insights on their budgetary constraints that could guide your pricing.
I hope this helps! Good luck with your recruitment efforts!
