No Placement Fee Model

Retained recruiting support without a traditional placement fee every time a hire is made.

how it works

Pay for recruiting support as you go, not every time someone is hired.

The No Placement Fee Model is designed for government contractors that need flexible recruiting capacity without paying a separate placement fee for each hire. JCD works as an extension of your internal recruiting team on a retained hourly basis, typically in 80-hour blocks.

What it includes

  • Retained hourly basis, typically in 80-hour blocks
  • No per-hire fees
  • Whether one hire or several hires are made, the cost is based on hours used
  • Fully flexible, hours can scale up or down with demand
  • Unused hours roll over up to 6 months
  • Ideal for surge hiring or when internal teams are stretched thin
  • Often significantly more cost-effective than traditional contingency recruiting, often 60%+ less if even one hire is made
