Of the agreed annual base salary, payable when your chosen person commences.

Payable only if the employee is still employed at twelve months.
7.5% total over twelve months — with no minimum fee.
Calculated on the employee's agreed annual base salary for their contracted hours, excluding KiwiSaver, bonuses, commissions and allowances unless otherwise quoted — so smaller and part-time roles cost less.

We will help you decide whether the answer is a person, a better process, an AI tool — or a carefully designed combination.
