Posting a brief is free.
You only pay for what you choose.
Two simple choices: how you'd like to shortlist, and whether you'd like our help running things once your leader starts.
How do you want to shortlist?

Questions
Is Engagement support compulsory?
No. It's optional. Managing your leader yourself is completely fine. You can add it when you post your brief or later when you book.
What do I pay, and when?
Posting a brief and seeing your matches is free. You only pay if you reveal your shortlist (£295 + VAT), build a service with our team (priced from your brief), or choose Engagement support (15% of days worked).
How is "Let our team do it" priced?
Once you've posted your brief, you pick the parts you want from a short menu, such as phone screening, interviews and reference checks. The price depends on how complex the role is, and you see the total before you commit. It's lower if you also take Engagement support.
What happens to my £295 if I take Engagement support?
It's credited against your first Engagement support invoices, so you don't pay twice.
What is IR35, and will you help?
IR35 is the set of tax rules that decide whether a leader working through their own company should be taxed like an employee. You make the status determination. With Engagement support, we give you tools and plain-English guidance so you can decide with confidence, and we keep contracts and paperwork tidy. Leaders inside IR35 are paid through an accredited umbrella company or PAYE.
Is this compliant?
Yes. We work within the UK rules for employment agencies. You record the IR35 status before any role starts; we provide templates and keep the paperwork in order. Inside-IR35 leaders are paid through a short list of accredited umbrella companies. If you take Engagement support, admin like contracts and timesheets is handled for you.
What if I don't get enough matches?
If you get fewer than 3 matches within 10 working days, we refund your £295.
Can I see more than 5 leaders?
Yes. You can reveal more for a small extra charge.
Do leaders pay anything?
No. Finding work through Fractional Search is always free for leaders.
