Recruitment costs are easier to judge when you can see what sits behind them. For an employer comparing agencies, knowing the charge is useful, but understanding how temporary staffing costs are built and when permanent recruitment fees apply gives you a stronger basis for the decision.

Orchard Professional Solutions takes an open-book approach to temporary and Temp to Perm pricing. The Beverley-based recruitment company can show employers the deductions and margins within those costs, while permanent vacancies follow a separate pricing structure.

Open-Book Pricing Makes the Cost Easier to Examine

A temporary staffing charge covers more than the worker’s hourly pay. Orchard Professional Solutions’ temporary staffing terms explain that hourly charges are based on the hours worked and mainly comprise the temporary worker’s remuneration alongside the agency commission and employer National Insurance contributions. Agreed travel, hotel or other expenses may also form part of the charge where applicable.
