Our fees are completely clear. You can be sure that the fee we charge is standardised. The Ashdown Group believe in no nonsense fees that ensure you receive value for money and don't pay more than is necessary.

Our fair fee structure helps us to establish long-term customer relationships.

We offer all new customers our 12.5% recruitment fee the first time they register a vacancy regardless of whether or not the vacancy has been given to another agency. A 12.5% fee is always available for future business.

We offer a 100% rebate promise that spans a full 13 week period. Should someone we place leave your company within their first 13 weeks of service, we will deliver the entire recruitment process again without any compromise in service level - if unsuccessful in finding a replacement we will refund your fee in full.

Very few placements we make result in an early resignation or a customer's decision to bring employment to an abrupt close. If the early stages of employment don't go to plan, we offer our full support.

We register over 10,000 CVs every month but the benefit to you doesn't stop there. We have access to hundreds of high calibre people that live within 5 miles of every UK business. We spend hundreds of thousands on advertising and marketing every year to give our customers the best jobseeker choice possible when they are recruiting. Our powerful Ashdown database currently contains the CVs of over 570,000 experienced professionals.

Our interviewing process often takes several days to fully complete and we set the highest standards. Many of the people we contact aren't looking at the well known job boards and we task ourselves with ethically positioning our customer's vacancy in the most attractive way possible without ever making an opportunity sound better than it really is. We promote the benefits of working for your business and make sure we match people who we think would suit your company culture.
