How pricing works
Flat annual fee.
No success fees.
Recruitment agencies charge about 35% of annual salary for each hire. For someone earning ¥8 million, that's ¥2.8 million per hire. LinkedIn is a flat annual fee, so cost stays the same no matter how many you hire. We'll provide an official quote after hearing your hiring plan.

5 hiresIf you hire, agency fees come to¥14 million. With LinkedIn, it's one flat annual fee, however many you hire.
