Sec. 01 — Commercial Models
Rightfit hiring models.
Three commercial shapes for one search discipline: permanent hiring on an annual fee, permanent hiring on monthly fees, and contract hiring with payroll and compliance carried by Rightfit. Pick a model per role — and mix freely.
Sec. 02 — The Models
Three ways to say yes.
Model A: Permanent hiring on annual fee.
The classic close
One flat fee, one invoice, one guarantee. When your hire is onboard, Rightfit raises a single invoice — and stands behind the placement for its first ninety days.
- Single invoice, raised within 7 days of successful onboarding
- 50% payable within 15 days; the balance at 45 days of employment
- 90-day replacement guarantee* — one replacement per placement
Model B: Permanent hiring on monthly fee.
Pay as they stay
Our fee arrives in twelve monthly instalments — and if the hire leaves, the invoicing stops there. You never pay for retention you didn't get, and our incentive is identical to yours: a placement that lasts.
- Invoiced on or before the 7th of each month, from the month after joining
- Each invoice payable within 15 days, subject to applicable TDS
- If the hire exits early, invoicing stops — the fee is capped at CTC actually incurred
Model C: Contract hiring.
Your team, extended
The best model when you want the people without the paperwork — no in-house payroll to run, no employment regulations and compliance to manage. The search itself is the same comprehensive Rightfit service as Models A and B.
Once you accept a candidate, they sign an employment contract with Rightfit and start on your project alongside your own employees — under your supervision, direction and control at all times, while Rightfit carries every employment obligation and compliance responsibility. Your HR policies — leave and attendance, work discipline, procedures — apply to them exactly as they apply to your own people. At the end of each month we invoice you and process the candidate's salary, PF, taxes and other statutory items.
- Candidate employed by Rightfit — deputed under your supervision, direction and control
- Payroll, PF, taxes and all statutory compliance handled by Rightfit
- Your HR policies apply to the candidate as they do to your own employees
- Monthly invoice, on or before the 7th — invoicing stops when the engagement ends
Mix and match: the models combine freely across your roles — the model for each candidate is agreed before the search begins.
