Question 1

Are there any hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

No. Our pricing is fully transparent. For recruitment, you pay the agreed percentage only upon successful placement. For EOR, the monthly fee covers all employer obligations. For BPO, hourly rates include management, QA, and infrastructure. Any additional costs (e.g., special software licenses) are discussed and agreed upfront.

Question 2

Do you offer volume discounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For EOR services, pricing improves significantly at 10+, 25+, and 50+ employees. BPO rates are volume-based with discounts at scale. Recruitment percentages can be negotiated for retained or RPO engagements. Contact us for a custom proposal.

Question 3

What currencies can I pay in?

Accepted Answer

We accept payments in USD, EUR, GBP, and select African currencies. EOR payroll is processed in local currencies (NGN, KES, ZAR, GHS, EGP) at competitive FX rates. You receive a single consolidated invoice in your preferred currency.

Question 4

What's included in the EOR per-employee price?

Accepted Answer

The monthly EOR fee covers: legal employment, employment contract management, monthly payroll processing, tax withholding and filing, statutory benefit administration, HR support, and compliance management. Actual salary, statutory contributions, and benefits are billed separately at cost.

Question 5

How does the replacement guarantee work?

Accepted Answer

For recruitment, if a placed candidate leaves or is terminated within the guarantee period (30 days for contingent, 90 days for retained), we source a replacement at no additional fee. This gives you zero-risk hiring.

Question 6

Can I combine multiple services?

Accepted Answer

Bundling is encouraged and often reduces total cost. For example, many clients combine EOR + Recruitment for a seamless hire-and-employ experience, or BPO + Training for managed teams with built-in upskilling. We offer bundled pricing for multi-service engagements.
