Recruitment agency team celebrating executive search and fixed-fee hiring success.
Frustrated HR leaders facing hiring challenges in the office – recruitment agency delays, high fees, and unfilled roles

Any of this sounds familiar?

You're not alone. We're here to help.

The hiring landscape is harder than ever. HR and TA teams are stretched thin, yet still expected to fill roles quickly — often without enough time or resources. And when the usual tools like job ads or LinkedIn searches stop working, things stall. That’s where we come in.

👋🏼 I’m Fairuz, Founder and Principal Recruiter at Vatra Search.

Over the past 10+ years in recruitment agency and executive search environments, I’ve placed 150+ candidates across specialist, leadership, and executive functions. I’ve worked in niche markets where the best people don’t respond to ads — and success required real recruiting work: deep research, structured longlists, targeted outreach, and follow-up calls that most recruiters today just don’t make.

At Vatra Search, we’re a recruitment agency built on a fixed-fee model — one that prioritizes structure, quality, and transparency. Every role we take on is backed by a 12-month guarantee. You’ll know what you’re paying upfront — and exactly what you’re getting in return.

If you’ve been left frustrated by inconsistent agencies or roles that just won’t close, you’re not alone. And you’re exactly who we’re here to help.

FAQ

Most recruitment agencies start by posting a job ad. We don’t. At Vatra Search, we begin every search with research — building a longlist based on a clear Ideal Candidate Profile. This structured approach ensures we target people who actually fit your brief, not just those actively applying.

Unlike many modern recruiters who rely solely on emails or LinkedIn messages, we also make actual phone calls — including to company lines — to connect with hard-to-reach candidates. It’s old-school hustle backed by modern precision.

With fixed-fee transparency, a 12-month replacement guarantee, and a partner-led delivery model, we help you simplify costs, expand reach, and hire with confidence.

Most recruitment agencies charge a percentage of the candidate’s annual base salary — usually 12% to 25%. It varies wildly depending on the role, industry, or the brand they carry.

Speaking from over a decade working in recruitment agencies; sometimes that higher fee reflects genuine expertise and care. But often, it doesn’t. Here’s what that can look like:

  • A $6,000/month hire could cost you $8,640 to $18,000
  • A $10,000/month hire could cost $14,400 to $30,000
  • A $15,000/month hire could cost $21,600 to $45,000

At Vatra Search, we don’t charge that way.

We use a fixed-fee recruitment model — clear pricing upfront, no surprises. Whether the role is junior or senior, you know exactly what you’re paying. And every hire comes with a 12-month guarantee.

It’s a model designed for clarity, accountability, and value — so you can hire confidently and protect your recruitment spend.

If the person we place leaves within the first 6 months, you’ll receive a full refund. If they leave between months 6 and 12, you’ll get 50% back.

It’s entirely your choice if you’d like to engage us again to find a replacement at our published engagement rates. We’ll treat it as a new search – as we should.

The only condition for our guarantee to apply is that all invoices must be paid on time, according to the agreed payment terms.
