Frequently asked questions

Why 8.33%?

8.33% of a candidate's annual CTC is equivalent to one month's salary - our fee is due once, when your candidate confirms joining.

What does "exclusive mandate" mean, and why is it required?

You agree to work this role with GeeksCharter only, rather than running it in parallel across multiple agencies. We only offer contingency pricing on exclusive mandates - if you want to keep other channels open in parallel, our RPO plans don't require exclusivity.

When exactly is the fee invoiced?

On confirmed joining - not on offer acceptance. Contingency invoicing is handled directly by our team rather than through the HiringOS billing system, since there's no software subscription involved.

Do I get access to the HiringOS/ATS with a Contingency plan?

No - Contingency is a pure recruiting service with no software included. Our team sources, screens, and manages the process for your role directly. If you'd like the software too, see our RPO plans, which bundle the HiringOS with an annual service plan.

Do you offer background verification services?

Not currently - we do not offer background verification as part of any plan.
