Recruitment and selection
on a no-cure-no-pay basis.
Vacancies you don't want to fill through staffing or secondment, but for which you do want a verified candidate quickly. Fixed fee. No placement, no cost.
Sometimes you just want one person, on a permanent contract. A senior welder, a specialised mechatronics technician, an operator with VAPRO papers. No staffing relationship — but still sourcing power and an international pool. That is what recruitment & selection is for.
How it works.
- Briefing (week 1): we come on site, walk through the role and get to know your team and culture.
- Sourcing (weeks 1-3): we deploy our 11 EU recruitment regions to find candidates who fit exactly — not "similar".
- Pre-selection (weeks 2-3): screening, video interviews, certificate checks, language check. You receive 2-4 candidates with a rationale.
- Interview (weeks 3-4): you conduct the final interviews yourself. We facilitate travel and language support.
- Offer & start (weeks 4-5): the contract is directly with you and FlexHero steps back. We only handle the practical landing (housing, A1, BSN).
Fixed fee, no percentage.
We charge a fixed fee per placed skilled worker — not a percentage of the gross annual salary. Examples:
- Production / forklift / operator (€ 2.400-3.000 gross): €65 fee
- CNC / welder / fitter (€ 3.000-3.700): €65 fee
- Mechatronics technician / VAPRO B/C / specialist (€ 3.500-4.500): €65 fee
- Supervisory / VOL-VCA / project manager: on quotation
25% at briefing, 75% on placement. No placement, no further costs.
60-day replacement guarantee.
If the skilled worker leaves within 60 days of starting (for whatever reason), we find a replacement at no extra fee. In practice this rarely happens — our pre-selection is thorough.
When should you choose this?
- Permanent position without a staffing relationship
- Minimum salary €65+ (otherwise staffing is often a better fit)
- Specialist role for which the Dutch market is too thin
- You want to be the legal employer yourself
Frequently asked questions.
Do you also work with percentages?
Preferably not. A fixed fee makes the costs clear up front — no 'surprises' due to a higher salary than expected.
What if the candidate leaves during the probation period?
60-day replacement guarantee — we find a new candidate at no extra fee.
Do you also do executive search?
For roles > €65k gross/year or board-level management: not our focus. We refer you to specialised partners.
How deep does your sourcing go?
We have active relationships with 11 recruitment regions in Poland, Romania, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Bulgaria. No scraped databases — conversations with real people on the ground.
Do you offer language and housing support after placement?
For the first 3 months, yes, free of charge: we help with housing, BSN, A1 and health insurance. After that, the skilled worker stands on their own feet with you.
