Fixed-rate recruitment solutions for UK businesses
One set fee per hire, agreed before we start, plus the interview training and onboarding that make a hire stick. You never pay more because the role pays more.
Traditional agencies usually charge 15–25% of first-year salary. We agree one fixed fee before we start, so you know the cost whatever the salary.
Most hiring problems don’t start or end with the CV. A good candidate can still be lost to a poor interview or a rushed first week, so we cover the whole stretch.
A fixed fee per hire. We source, screen and interview candidates, then stay with you through to the offer.
Interview training for the managers making the hire, so decisions are fair, consistent and easier to defend.
A first-90-days programme designed around the role, so new starters settle in quickly and stay.

“I’ve sat on the hiring side of the table for years. I know what it costs when a good hire doesn’t work out.”Jake Farrell, founder
Well Rounded Recruitment is led by Jake Farrell, a professional manager with a background in automotive aftersales and field engineering. He has spent real time and resources on recruitment, hiring, training and onboarding people into his own teams, so he knows how much a quality hire is worth, and how much it costs when one doesn’t stay.
That experience shapes how we work: plain-speaking, practical, and focused on hires that last. Staff longevity matters as much as filling the role, which is why we look past the offer letter to the first 90 days and beyond.
Anything else, ask on the call. It’s free and takes about as long as a coffee.
Ask us directlyWe agree one price for the hire before we start: £2,495 + VAT for most roles, £3,495 + VAT for specialist, senior or hard-to-reach candidates. It doesn’t change with the salary you end up offering.
If someone we place leaves within 50 days, we find you a replacement free of charge. If you also take our interview training and onboarding programme, that cover doubles to 100 days.
No. If you only need one part, we start there. Many businesses come to us for recruitment, but you can book interview training or an onboarding programme on its own. If you want all three, ask about a package price.
We work mainly with UK SMEs of 10 to 250 people, especially businesses without a dedicated HR team, where the owner or a manager handles hiring themselves.
A short, assessed shortlist rather than a pile of CVs. We search and screen, run first interviews, and only send you candidates worth meeting.
What to ask, how to tell real competence from a good answer, simple scoring so candidates are compared objectively, and how to avoid unconscious bias in your decisions. It’s for hiring managers and interview panels, from £495 + VAT.
Tell us about the role or the problem you’re trying to fix. A first call is free and there’s no obligation.
