Build your own hiring engine instead of paying £10,000–£25,000 every time you hire.

For many growing businesses, recruitment agencies feel like the only option when hiring.

But the cost quickly adds up.

Most agencies charge 15–25% of a salary. That means hiring just a few roles can cost tens of thousands of pounds.

Example:

Salary £40,000 → Typical agency fee £6,000–£10,000
Salary £50,000 → Typical agency fee £7,500–£12,500
Salary £70,000 → Typical agency fee £10,500–£17,500

And once the hire is made, the fee is gone — and you still have no internal hiring capability.

The next role comes up… and you pay the fee again.

The Problem Many SMEs Face

Businesses relying on recruitment agencies often experience:

• Expensive fees for every hire
• CVs that don’t truly fit the role
• Recruiters who don’t fully understand the business
• No improvement to internal hiring processes
• Ongoing dependence on agencies

Recruitment becomes a repeating cost, rather than a capability inside the business.

There Is A Better Way

Instead of paying recruitment fees every time you hire, forward-thinking businesses build internal hiring capability.

This means creating a structured, repeatable system for attracting and hiring talent.

When done properly, businesses can:

• Reduce agency reliance
• Hire faster
• Improve candidate quality
• Strengthen employer branding
• Improve retention

Hiring becomes a business capability — not an expensive emergency.

How BuildIn Talent Helps

BuildIn Talent works with growing businesses to design and implement the systems that allow them to hire effectively without relying on recruitment agencies.

We help businesses build:

• Recruitment processes and hiring frameworks

• Hiring manager capability

The result is a structured hiring engine inside your business.

What Are Recruitment Fees Really Costing You?

If your business hires 5 people per year with an average salary of £45,000 and pays a 20% recruitment fee, that’s:

£9,000 per hire
£45,000 per year in recruitment fees

Over three years, that’s £135,000 spent on recruitment agencies — with no internal hiring system in place.

A Smarter Way To Hire

Recruitment shouldn’t be a recurring cost that drains your budget.

It should be a capability inside your organisation.

That’s what BuildIn Talent helps businesses build.
