Recruitment retainers
Your recruiter, on a fixed monthly fee.
Not every business needs a full RPO team — but almost every growing business needs reliable hiring. A Latinum HR recruitment retainer gives small and mid-size companies a dedicated recruiter for one predictable monthly price. No per-hire agency fees, no in-house overhead — just steady, professional hiring across India, the UAE and the GCC.
The problem with the alternatives
Agencies are expensive. An in-house recruiter is a big commitment.
- Agencies charge a big percentage of salary per hire — unpredictable and costly if you hire more than occasionally.
- A full-time recruiter is salary, benefits and management overhead you may not be ready for.
- Doing it yourself pulls founders and managers off the work that actually grows the business.
- A retainer gives you professional recruiting capacity for a fixed, budgetable monthly cost — the middle path that fits most SMBs.

Pricing
Tailored to your hiring — talk to us.
Because every business hires differently, we scope the retainer to the number and type of roles you need each month, then set one fixed monthly price. No per-hire fees, no long lock-ins you don't want.
How we price it: your typical monthly hiring volume, the seniority and specialism of roles, and the markets you hire in (India, UAE, wider GCC).
What you'll get: a clear monthly figure and scope before you commit — no obligation.
Questions, answered
Recruitment retainer FAQ
What is a recruitment retainer?
A fixed monthly fee to run your hiring, instead of paying a big fee for every placement. You get a dedicated recruiter who sources, screens and manages candidates for your open roles on an ongoing basis — an outsourced recruiting function for a predictable cost.
How is it different from an agency?
Agencies charge a large percentage of salary per hire. A retainer replaces those per-hire fees with one fixed monthly price — predictable, and usually far cheaper if you hire regularly. You also get a consistent partner who learns your business.
Is it right for a small business?
Yes. It's built for SMBs that hire steadily but can't justify a full in-house recruiter or repeated agency fees. You get professional recruiting capacity for a fixed, budgetable monthly cost.
What does it cost?
It's tailored to your hiring plan, with no per-hire placement fees. Contact us for a custom quote.
What if we start hiring at high volume?
We simply scale the retainer, or move you to full RPO with a dedicated embedded team. Same partner, bigger engine.
