Hi, can anyone help me with understanding how HR consultancies operate and generate their income?

Hi,

Normally, the consultancy charges the company based on the experience level of the candidate. This charge could be either equivalent to one month's salary or range from 8-12% of the Cost To Company (CTC).

Dear Vivek,

HR Consultancy searches profiles from job portals based on the job descriptions and position requirements received by them from their clients (i.e. Companies). They send the selected profiles to the companies where they shortlist, and then the consultant arranges the interviews for the shortlisted candidates with the companies.

Once the candidate joins the company, the payment is made to the consultant based on the agreement between the consultancy and the company regarding the percentage of the payment.

If the candidate leaves the company within 3 months, the company can recruit and select another candidate from the same consultancy without any additional payment, as per the agreement.

I think here we are talking about placement consultancy and not HR consultancy since HR consultancy deals with providing an establishment with back-office infrastructural support to ensure conformity with all related laws and legislations. On the contrary, in placement consultancy, the percentage and other aspects become necessary, as mentioned by many of you.

Sorry if I am wrong.

HR recruitment consultancies source candidates and supply candidates/manpower to companies/corporates, and in exchange for that, they charge the company 8.33% to 12% of the candidate's annual gross salary. Some HR consultants even take candidates on their payroll for temporary staffing, and these candidates work for the company.

Apart from recruitment, some consultants take on the work of payroll, salary calculation, or managing PF and ESI amounts/returns of employees of companies.

Thanks & Regards, VS Kulkarani

Recruitment is one of the key functions in HR Consultancies. They typically charge between 6.5% to 10% based on the candidate's Cost to Company (CTC); however, they do not charge the candidate directly. Other services provided by HR Consultancies include staffing, organizing, training, and development. These services are offered to companies, and fees are charged accordingly.

Can somebody tell me what will be the incentive structure in a placement agency for the HR recruiter?
