FAQ's - Employers

How are your fees determined?

Permanent Staffing
DerrJones provides clients with several fee options, including retained search, contingency search, and a third fee plan that combines the two. Regardless of the method chosen, fees are based on a percentage of the first year's cash compensation. Our retained services are billed in three installments: one-third is billed when we initiate the assignment; one-third is billed in 30 days; the final third is billed in 60 days. Under the contingency method, the total fee is billed upon the candidate's acceptance of an offer. The third plan provides for one-third of the fee to be paid upon initiating the assignment, with the balance due upon placement.

Contract/Interim Placement
Contract rates are negotiated based on a number of factors, including the duration of the assignment, the skills required, and the contractor's desired hourly rate. DerrJones works with our clients to determine appropriate rates for the assignment, based on market conditions.

Is there a benefit to selecting the retained option?

When DerrJones works on a retained basis, you are guaranteed dedicated resources to work on your assignment - and we continue to give the assignment top priority until the search is completed. While DerrJones provides a guarantee on all placements, clients opting for retained services receive an extended guarantee.

What is your guarantee policy?

DerrJones provides a 90 day guarantee on all contingency placements, and a six month guarantee on retained assignments. If a candidate leaves to accept another position or is terminated during the guarantee period, DerrJones will replace the candidate at no charge to the hiring organization.
