Build your recruitment bundle

Choose a bundle, then tick or untick anything you want to change. Everything you add is priced on the right as you go.

VAT is always charged. Every fee here is shown before 7.5% VAT, and VAT is added to every invoice. It is a government tax that Prime Hire collects and pays over, not a Prime Hire fee, so we cannot waive it or discount it.

Before you start

What is included in the base fee?

The search, shortlist and offer: client consultation, job description creation, advertising on our website and LinkedIn, candidate sourcing and database search, CV screening, our recruiter interview and basic competency assessment, a shortlist of up to 3 candidates, interview scheduling and feedback management, salary and offer negotiation support, and your offer letter with offer coordination. Everything else is an add-on you choose.

What does 8% mean, is it VAT?

8% is our base fee, as a share of the annual gross salary. VAT is a separate government tax of 7.5%, added on top of the total. The builder shows both lines so they are easy to tell apart.

Can VAT be waived or reduced?

No. VAT at 7.5% is charged on every invoice. It is a government tax that we collect and pay over to the government, so it is not a Prime Hire fee and we cannot waive or discount it.

What is the difference between the bundles?

All three start with the same careful search and shortlist. Base is the lean starting point. Standard adds a reference check and 30 days of replacement cover. Complete adds two reference checks, KYC Basic verification, 30 days of onboarding support, an additional shortlist and 60 days of replacement cover. If applications are slow on Base, we can boost your job post for extra reach, quoted as needed.

How does replacement cover work?

If your hire leaves within the cover period, we run one replacement search with no new recruitment fee. Cover is priced as a percentage of annual salary, and it starts on the hire's first day. It applies if the hire resigns, is dismissed for performance or conduct, or fails to resume, and it needs your invoices to be paid. The full conditions are listed under Replacement cover in the builder.

Can you add clauses to the offer letter?

Yes. Your offer letter covers all the standard clauses. Tick the extra clauses you want or tell us your own, and we confirm the wording and the quote with you before we draft. For complex legal terms, ask your own lawyer to review the letter.

When do I pay?

60% of the estimated total before the search begins, and the balance once the salary is confirmed. The balance is due within 3 business days of the invoice, and always before we hand over your chosen candidate.

What if the final amount is lower than the deposit?

If the final fee is lower than the deposit, we refund the difference within 10 business days or credit it for 6 months, your choice.

Is there a minimum fee?

Yes. The recruitment fee has a minimum of ₦200,000 per role. The builder applies it for you.

Can I change my bundle later?

Yes. Any add-on can be requested after we start. Checks are quoted per candidate.
