Hi there,
Great question! The fee percentages can vary quite a bit across different sectors in the UK recruitment market. Here’s a general overview based on my experience:
Warehouse: Typically, fee percentages for warehouse roles range from 10-15%. The competition is high, so agencies may lean towards the lower end of the scale.
Administration: For administrative positions, you’ll usually find fees around 15-20%. This sector often has a mix of permanent and temporary roles, which can influence the fees.
Marketing: Marketing roles tend to have a higher fee percentage, generally falling between 15-25%. Specialized marketing roles, particularly digital marketing, can command even higher fees due to skill demand.
Procurement: In procurement, fees are usually in the range of 15-20%. Senior or highly specialized procurement positions can potentially attract higher fees.
Customer Service: Customer service roles often have fees around 10-15%. Like with warehouse roles, the competitive market does influence pricing here.
Sales: Sales positions typically see fees from 15-25%. High-performing sales roles or those requiring niche skills may drive fees higher.
Keep in mind these are general figures and can vary based on factors like location, the specific requirements of the roles, and the recruitment agency’s positioning. It’s always a good idea to keep an eye on market trends to adjust your strategies accordingly.
Hope this helps! Looking forward to hearing others’ insights as well.
Best,
