Frequently Asked Questions
How does AgencyPro handle contingency placement fees versus retained search fees?
AgencyPro supports both success-based and phase-based billing. For contingency placements, create invoices only when candidates are successfully placed and start work, billing the agreed placement fee percentage. For retained searches, create invoices aligned with search phases (initial retainer, candidate presentation, final placement), regardless of placement outcome. Clients see clear separation between pay-for-success contingency models and guaranteed retained search models, helping them choose the recruitment structure that fits their hiring needs.
Can I track candidate search and interview work separately from placement fees?
Yes, AgencyPro lets you track recruitment work by activity type, so candidate searches, interviews, client meetings, reference checks, and placement coordination can be tracked separately. When creating invoices, include these as distinct line items for retained search or retainer work, showing clients what they pay for recruitment activities. For contingency placements, you can still track this work internally for cost analysis, even though invoicing happens only on successful placement.
How do I invoice for both monthly recruitment retainers and successful placements?
AgencyPro handles both recurring retainer invoices and success-based placement billing. Set up monthly retainer invoices for ongoing recruitment support, candidate pipeline development, or recruitment consulting, then create separate invoices for successful placements when candidates are hired. Clients see clear separation between ongoing recruitment support and success-based placement fees, avoiding confusion about what's included in retainers versus placement success payments.
What if clients want to see which candidates were presented or which placements were made?
AgencyPro invoices support detailed line items and descriptions. When creating invoices from tracked recruitment work, you can add notes specifying which candidates were presented, which interviews were conducted, which placements were made, or which recruitment activities were completed. This level of detail helps clients understand the scope of recruitment work completed and justifies recruitment service pricing, leading to better client relationships and fewer billing questions.
