Fixed-Fee Recruitment​ in Singapore

Hire smarter. Pay flat. No surprises.

Traditional agencies charge 15–25% of annual salary. Tyson Jay charges a fixed fee based on recruitment complexity, not what your candidate earns.

The industry problem

Traditional agencies take 15% of a SGD 60,000 annual salary. That's SGD 9,000, regardless of effort.

Why fixed-fee recruitment

Built for organisations that demand clarity.

Hiring environments have changed. Business owners and HR leaders face growing pressure around cost predictability, wage compression, and internal scrutiny.

While traditional agencies charge fees based on a percentage of the candidate’s annual salary, Tyson Jay’s fixed-fee recruitment model is designed to provide organisations with:

Cost comparison — SGD 60,000 hire

Cost comparison for a SGD 60,000 hire

Traditional agency (20%)
SGD 12,000
Tyson Jay fixed-fee
SGD 2,999
Traditional agency (15%)
SGD 9,000

Savings may vary based on role complexity and Tier selection. The above illustrates a Tier 2 fixed-fee engagement.

Predictable Hiring Costs
Know exactly what you'll pay before the search even begins. Organisations can budget recruitment expenses with clarity and avoid percentage-based fee surprises.
Fair Hiring Advisory
Recommendations are based on candidate suitability and long-term hiring outcomes.
Better Alignment Between Effort and Fees
Roles are priced according to recruitment effort and complexity, not compensation levels.
Long-Term Partnerships
A transparent pricing model designed to support stronger, commercially aligned recruitment relationships.

How it works

Three tiers. One transparent model.

Every role is scoped to a tier based on the recruitment effort required, including talent availability, sourcing strategy, and search complexity, not the candidate’s salary. Your fee is agreed upfront, paid only upon successful placement.
Tier 1
SGD
1,999
Flat fee
Best suited for roles where talent is readily available in the local market and standard sourcing and screening are sufficient, such as administrative and coordination roles.
Tier 2
SGD
2,999
Flat fee
Suitable for roles where talent availability is more competitive, requiring targeted sourcing, active outreach, and market mapping
Typically includes positions requiring specific functional, technical, trade, or operational expertise.
Tier 3
Custom
Quoted case-by-case
Designed for niche, highly specialised, executive, or confidential searches where talent pools are limited and bespoke search strategies are required.
Requires bespoke market mapping, senior-level assessment, and discreet outreach.
T&Cs: Fees and tier classifications are indicative and subject to a signed service agreement. Tier classifications may be reviewed based on market availability of talent, recruitment effort, sourcing requirements, and overall search complexity. All engagements are subject to Tyson Jay’s terms and conditions.

I had an amazing experience working with Ivan Lim from Tyson Jay. He not only helped me gain clear direction on my career path, but he also shared invaluable, practical tips to optimize my CV and boost my visibility to recruiters. What truly sets Ivan apart, though, is his genuine care. You can instantly tell this isn't 'just a job' to him—he has a real heart for helping people succeed. If you're looking for a career coach who is highly knowledgeable and truly invested in your growth, I cannot recommend Ivan enough.

Ivan from Tyson Jay got me a job interview from an industry that I always wanted to explore. He was helpful and encouraging throughout the entire journey, and made sure that I was ready for the next step. He even managed to pushed the team for the next round of interview when I was pushing for time. Though I did not get the job at the end, the experience working with Ivan was amazing.

FAQs

Questions decision-makers always ask.

Everything you need to assess whether our model is the right fit for your organisation’s hiring strategy.

How is Tyson Jay’s fixed-fee pricing different from traditional recruitment agencies?

Traditional recruitment agencies typically charge a percentage of the successful candidate's salary. Tyson Jay's fixed-fee model is based on the recruitment effort, market availability of talent, and search complexity, not the candidate's compensation. This gives you transparent, predictable recruitment costs before the search begins.

Are fees tied to recruitment quality?

Every engagement, regardless of tier, receives the same quality of recruitment service and candidate management. Our fee structure reflects the recruitment effort and search complexity required, not the standard of service you receive.

Does the fee increase if the candidate salary is higher?

No. Your fee is determined by the agreed tier, not by what the successful candidate earns, including salary, bonuses, AWS, or allowances.

Is there a replacement guarantee?

Yes. All successful placements include a three-month replacement guarantee.

Which roles fall under Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3?

Tier classification is based on the recruitment effort required for the search. We consider factors such as talent availability, sourcing strategy, specialist expertise, market competitiveness, and whether the search requires targeted or confidential hiring. The examples shown are indicative only, and the final tier is confirmed before the search begins.

Can the same job title fall under different tiers?

Yes. The same job title may fall under different tiers depending on the nature of the search. For example, a Software Engineer with a broad local talent pool may be assessed as Tier 2, while another requiring niche expertise in AI, machine learning, or high-performance computing may be assessed as Tier 3. Every engagement is individually scoped before work begins.

Is this model suitable for managerial or executive hiring?

Yes. We recruit across professional, managerial, executive, and specialist positions. From heads of function and regional leaders to C-suite executives, we tailor every search to the organisation's hiring requirements.
