Our Model

Fixed Fee Recruitment

Traditional agencies charge a percentage of salary — typically 20–30% — regardless of how straightforward the search actually is. A senior hire can carry a five-figure invoice before you’ve even finished onboarding them.

HST Hiring works differently. We agree one flat, transparent fee before the search begins, whatever the role, whatever it takes to fill it. You know the exact cost from day one, and there’s no financial incentive on our side to rush a shortlist out the door — because our fee doesn’t move with the offer, our advice on pay stays honest too.
