Frequently Asked Questions

How does recurring billing work for recruitment agency retainers?

You set up a recurring billing profile for each client's recruitment retainer with the monthly amount, billing date, and payment terms. The system automatically generates and sends invoices on the scheduled date each month. Clients receive invoices via email and can pay online. You can track payment status and see which clients have paid for their ongoing recruitment services.

Can I track retainer drawdowns for placements and recruitment work?

Yes, if clients pay retainers upfront, you can track drawdowns as you make placements and deliver recruitment work like candidate sourcing, screening, and interview coordination. The system shows remaining retainer balance and can send notifications when the retainer needs replenishment. You can also combine retainer drawdowns with monthly billing for clients who use both payment methods.

What if a client wants to add additional recruitment work beyond their retainer?

You can add one-time charges for additional recruitment work that exceeds the retainer amount. The recurring billing profile continues for the base retainer, and you create separate invoices for extra recruitment work. This allows you to bill for both ongoing retainer services and one-time recruitment projects separately.

How do I handle different recruitment service types with different pricing?

You can create separate recurring billing profiles for different recruitment service types. For example, retained search retainers might be different from contingency search retainers. Each service type has its own monthly retainer amount, and you can easily customize billing based on the scope of work included in each retainer package.
