Fees

THE IT CONTRACTING SERVICES PRICE MODEL THAT CAN SAVE YOU THOUSANDS!

Adaps looked at exorbitant client fees in the industry and choose to build its business on a new fee model that was directly aligned to the work that it performed. This is why adaps uses the following simple fee structures:

Permanents: Clients pay a flat fee of 15% of the permanents gross annual salary

Contractors: Clients can choose between two options:

  • 15% of the daily rate for the first twelve months then reduces to $34 per day. OR
  • 7% of the gross annual salary paid on contract commencement plus an ongoing $34 per day admin fee for the length of the contract.

Please note that rates are negotiable - dependant on volume.

This $34 per day fee is essentially an admin fee. It covers the cost of payments, invoicing, insurance and ongoing management. Because this fee is independent of the contractor rate, this fee model does not penalise you for hiring high rate IT Professionals.

POTENTIAL CLIENT SAVINGS

Adaps' revolutionary business model and guarantees ensure that you are working with a highly innovative, client focused group. An example of the actual savings your company will make on employing just one contractor is shown below.

In the following examples assume a competitor uses a mark up of 18%.

 

Example A savings: Example B savings
Consider one contractor employed for six months at $500 a day. Consider one contractor employed for twelve months at $1,000 a day.

Adaps would recommend the FLAT MODEL:
15% flat fee model

Adaps would recommend the UPFRONT MODEL:
7% upfront + $34 a day model

Adaps FLAT MODEL:
15% of ($500 x 20 days x 6 months) = $9,000


Competitors fees:
18% of ($500 x 20 days x 6 months)
= $10,800

Adaps UPFRONT MODEL::
upfront fee of 7% of ($1,000 x 20 days x 12 months) + Ongoing fee of $34 x (20days x 12months) = $24,960

Competitors fees:
18% of ($1,000 x 20 days x 12 months)
= $43,200
YOUR Savings = $1,800 YOUR Savings = $18,240

If you are a ‘big picture’ person, the graph below aptly demonstrates the massive savings of both of the above plans. Note how the 15% model reverts to $34 a day for your benefit at the twelve month mark, should the contract be extended.

Note: Savings are indicative only. Fees can decrease when placing multiple roles.

EXTRA SAVINGS

You will achieve further savings in HR management costs as contractors are paid for and insured by Adaps IT Recruitment.

As you can see, these savings are scalable. A client with a team of 50 IT contractors can save nearly $1 million in the first year alone!

WHICH MODEL DO YOU CHOOSE?

The above examples show that both adaps fee models rapidly save you money very early on. The fee specific model you choose will depend on the contractor rate and length of contract. For more information and advice on your requirements, please contact our Sales Executive.
