Contingency Recruiting

You Only Pay When You Hire

Recruiting Plug works on a contingency basis for precious metals employers. There is no retainer, no upfront fee, and no cost if you do not make a hire.

A Fee Structure Built Around Your Risk, Not Ours

Most staffing agencies get paid whether or not the hire works out. Ours does not.

No Upfront Cost

There is no retainer and no cost to start a search. You only pay once you actually hire someone we brought to you.

A Fee Only on Success

Our fee is tied directly to a completed hire. If the search does not result in a placement, there is nothing owed.

A Replacement Guarantee

Every placement includes a guarantee period. If the hire does not work out within that window, we source a replacement.

Clear Terms, Discussed Upfront

Exact fee percentages and terms are laid out in a straightforward agreement before any search begins, so there are no surprises later.

Why This Model Is Different From a Generalist Agency

A contingency model only works when the recruiter is confident in the candidates they bring forward.

We Only Get Paid If We're Right

Because we are only paid on a completed hire, we have no incentive to send unqualified candidates just to fill a pipeline.

Sourced Through Industry Channels

Candidates come through the ANA job board, the Greysheet email list, and our own network, not a generic job board with no industry filter.

Screened for This Specific Industry

We evaluate product knowledge, grading ability, and trustworthiness around high-value transactions, not just a resume.

Contingency Recruiting, Explained

Do I pay anything if I don't hire?

No. If you do not hire a candidate we bring forward, there is no fee at any point in the process.

What happens if a placement doesn't work out?

Every placement includes a replacement guarantee period. If the hire does not work out within that window, we source a replacement.

How is this different from a generalist staffing agency?

We specialize specifically in the precious metals, bullion, and coin industry, and we screen for product knowledge and trustworthiness a generalist recruiter typically cannot evaluate.

How do I get started?

Submit your open role through our employer intake form. It takes a few minutes and there is no cost to begin.
