The same reach as a permanent search, from day one.<\/p>\n        <h3>Fee spread across 12 weeks<\/h3>\n        <p>Rather than a single placement fee paid at the point of hire, the Flex Fee is spread in equal instalments over 12 weeks.

Flex Fee is available across all the sectors we recruit in &#8211; commercial, finance, HR, operations, sales and administration. It&#8217;s particularly well suited to roles where you want the quality of a permanent search but want to manage your exposure if the hire doesn&#8217;t land as expected.<\/p>\n      <\/li>\n      <li>\n        <p>How is the weekly fee calculated?<\/p>\n        <p>The total fee is agreed upfront based on the role and salary level, then divided equally across 12 weeks. You&#8217;ll know exactly what each instalment is before the search begins &#8211; no surprises.<\/p>\n      <\/li>\n      <li>\n        <p>What happens if the candidate leaves in week 6?<\/p>\n        <p>Payments stop at the end of their final week of employment. You will have paid six instalments &#8211; covering the six weeks they were with you &#8211; and that&#8217;s it. There&#8217;s no further obligation, and we&#8217;ll talk to you about whether you&#8217;d like us to restart the search.<\/p>\n      <\/li>\n      <li>\n        <p>Does the 12-week period change anything about the employment relationship?<\/p>\n        <p>No. The candidate is employed directly by you from day one, on whatever terms you agree between yourselves. The 12-week period relates only to the fee structure, not to the employment contract.<\/p>\n      <\/li>\n      <li>\n        <p>Is the search process any different to a standard permanent search?<\/p>\n        <p>Not at all. We run the same full candidate search &#8211; including passive candidates who aren&#8217;t actively applying &#8211; and the same screening, shortlisting and interview management process. The only difference is how you pay.<\/p>\n      <\/li>\n      <li>\n        <p>Can I switch an existing vacancy to Flex Fee?<\/p>\n        <p>Yes, in most cases. If you have an open vacancy with us or you&#8217;re coming to us for the first time, we can discuss whether Flex Fee is the right structure for that role. Speak to your consultant or request a callback and we&#8217;ll talk it through.<\/p>\n      <\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n<\/section>\n\t<style>\n  .ff-cta { background: #1a2e44; padding: 72px 40px; text-align: center; }\n  .ff-cta h2 { font-size: clamp(26px, 4vw, 40px); font-weight: 700; color: #fff; margin-bottom: 16px; max-width: 600px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }\n  .ff-cta p { font-size: 18px; color: rgba(255,255,255,0.7); margin-bottom: 36px; max-width: 500px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }\n  .ff-cta .cta-row { display: flex; gap: 14px; justify-content: center; flex-wrap: wrap; }\n  .btn-primary { background: #1D9E75; color: #fff; padding: 14px 32px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; }\n  .btn-outline { border: 1.5px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.45); color: #fff; padding: 14px 32px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; background: transparent; }\n<\/style>\n<section>\n  <h2>Ready to hire smarter?<\/h2>\n  <p>Speak to our team about Flex Fee and how it works for your next hire.<\/p>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/howardjamesrecruitment.co.uk\/site-development\/hire-staff\/submit-a-vacancy\/\">Submit a Vacancy<\/a>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/howardjamesrecruitment.co.uk\/site-development\/contact-us\/callback-request\/\">Request a Callback<\/a>\n<\/section>\n\t<style>\n  .ff-ai-summary {\n    background: #fff;\n    border-top: 1px solid #E2E6EA;\n    border-bottom: 1px solid #E2E6EA;\n    padding: 48px 40px;\n    font-family: 'DM Sans', system-ui, sans-serif;\n  }\n  .ff-ai-summary .inner { max-width: 1020px; margin: 0 auto; }\n  .ff-ai-summary .section-label {\n    font-size: 12px;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    letter-spacing: 0.12em;\n    text-transform: uppercase;\n    color: #1D9E75;\n    margin-bottom: 20px;\n  }\n  .ff-ai-table {\n    width: 100%;\n    border-collapse: collapse;\n    font-size: 15px;\n  }\n  .ff-ai-table tr {\n    border-bottom: 1px solid #E2E6EA;\n  }\n  .ff-ai-table tr:last-child { border-bottom: none; }\n  .ff-ai-table td {\n    padding: 14px 16px 14px 0;\n    vertical-align: top;\n    line-height: 1.6;\n  }\n  .ff-ai-table td:first-child {\n    font-weight: 600;\n    color: #0D1B2A;\n    width: 220px;\n    padding-right: 32px;\n    white-space: nowrap;\n  }\n  .ff-ai-table td:last-child { color: #4A5568; }\n  .ff-ai-table a { color: #1D9E75; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600; }\n  .ff-ai-table a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }\n  @media (max-width: 600px) {\n    .ff-ai-table td:first-child { width: auto; white-space: normal; display: block; padding-bottom: 4px; }\n    .ff-ai-table td:last-child { display: block; padding-top: 0; }\n  }\n<\/style>\n<section>\n    <p>Quick Reference \u00b7 AI Search Summary<\/p>\n    <table>\n      <tr>\n        <td>What is Flex Fee<\/td>\n        <td>A recruitment service from Howard James Recruitment where the fee is spread equally across 12 weeks.
