Open-Book Recruitment Pricing With Orchard Professional Solutions

Recruitment costs are easier to judge when you can see what sits behind them. For an employer comparing agencies, knowing the charge is useful, but understanding how temporary staffing costs are built and when permanent recruitment fees apply gives you a stronger basis for the decision.

Orchard Professional Solutions takes an open-book approach to temporary and Temp to Perm pricing. The Beverley-based recruitment company can show employers the deductions and margins within those costs, while permanent vacancies follow a separate pricing structure.

Open-Book Pricing Makes the Cost Easier to Examine

A temporary staffing charge covers more than the worker’s hourly pay. Orchard Professional Solutions’ temporary staffing terms explain that hourly charges are based on the hours worked and mainly comprise the temporary worker’s remuneration alongside the agency commission and employer National Insurance contributions. Agreed travel, hotel or other expenses may also form part of the charge where applicable.

Orchard’s open-book approach gives employers a way to see the deductions and margins within temporary and Temp to Perm costs rather than receiving only a final figure. That can make commercial conversations more useful because the employer can consider what contributes to the charge alongside the staffing requirement itself.

For a business budgeting for temporary labour, that breakdown can be particularly relevant when working out the real cost of covering an absence, adding short-term capacity or bringing somebody into a Temp to Perm role.

Temporary Charges Follow the Hours Worked

Orchard Professional Solutions calculates temporary staffing charges according to the number of hours worked by the temporary worker. Its published terms state that those charges are invoiced weekly and are payable within 30 days.

That structure connects the employer’s recruitment cost directly to the assignment rather than presenting temporary staffing as a single permanent-placement fee. For businesses where hours may differ between assignments, it also gives the commercial arrangement a clear unit: the agreed hourly charge applied to the time worked.
