Transparent, Fixed Fees - No Surprises

At Adderleys, we believe in offering absolute value for money with a clear, fixed-fee structure. Unlike many executive search firms that charge a percentage of the final salary, our fees are based on the candidate’s base salary bracket but remain fixed, no matter what salary is ultimately offered. This ensures fair, predictable pricing with no unexpected costs.

Our Fixed-Fee, Three-Stage Retained Model

We operate on a 1/3, 3-stage retained search model, with fees structured around the consultancy input required and the complexity of the assignment. This approach guarantees full commitment at every stage of the search process while giving clients cost certainty from the outset.

Why Our Fee Structure Stands Out

Fixed Fees from the Start – Agreed upfront based on the candidate’s base salary bracket, ensuring full transparency and budget certainty.

No Minimum Fees – Unlike many search firms, we do not impose a minimum fee, making our services accessible, flexible, and cost-effective.

Value-Driven Pricing – Our fees reflect the expertise, research, and strategic input required for each assignment, rather than fluctuating with final salary negotiations.

Competitive Alternative to Traditional Search Firms – Many firms charge a percentage of the final salary, often leading to inflated costs. Our model ensures fair pricing while maintaining the highest quality of service.

Our transparent, consultancy-based pricing provides businesses with cost certainty and exceptional value, ensuring that every executive search assignment is delivered with precision, expertise, and measurable results.
