In line with our mission, we are dedicated to revolutionizing the staffing process, ushering in a transformative shift towards a more efficient and effective hiring experience—a goal made possible by your trust. Become an entrusted partner to drive innovation and enjoy mutual success.

Maximized Efficiency

Up to 85% Process Improvement

Entrusted partners provide us with staffing requests to work on exclusively. We do not allocate recruitment capacity to client acquisition, dedicating our efforts to where it matters.

Recruitment Process, Minimizing Effort, Time and Costs

In traditional recruitment practices, teams spend half their time on client acquisition. By supplying us with staffing requests, eliminating the need to pursue them, the recruitment process is cut by 50%.
Offering a role exclusively to us, instead of involving multiple recruitment agencies, further benefits the recruitment process.

What's in It for You?

By focussing solely on Talent Acquisition, we minimize costs, maintain lower margins, and enhance our ability to attract the best candidates, providing you with exceptional value for quality.

Exclusively offering a staffing request to our agency avoids competition, preventing inflation of candidate rates for a more cost-effective recruitment process.

A streamlined communication process, with a single point of contact, ensures clarity and efficiency in discussing staffing needs and candidate progress. This approach also helps avoid unnecessary and unsolicited client outreach.

Exclusively offering a staffing request to our recruitment agency rather than multiple agencies can significantly enhance the likelihood of securing the best-matching candidates.

Which is explained by considering factors such as maximum rates and salaries, which play a pivotal role in determining the quality of presented candidates. High-quality candidates often come with a price tag, and when multiple recruitment agencies compete for the same talent, they may inadvertently limit the introduction of top-tier candidates.

In a competitive scenario, various agencies may evaluate a list of candidates and make selections based on fitting within the client’s budget. However, when one agency has higher profit margins than another, there’s a risk that potential best matches might not be introduced, as the emphasis may be on maximizing profit margins rather than presenting the most suitable candidates.

As an industry standard, agencies commonly remove all potentially suitable candidates from the market, aiming to limit the possibility for competitors to introduce these candidates. By offering a staffing request exclusively to our agency, clients ensure a dedicated focus on presenting the highest-quality candidates without the potential compromise that can arise when multiple agencies are vying for the same talent.

Transparency and Fixed Margins

Transparency

In the field of recruitment, uncertainty is pervasive. Client acquisition can be a time-consuming process with no guaranteed success. The involvement of multiple agencies in a single role is often unclear, and heightened competition sometimes necessitates the pursuit of higher margins to cover both successful and failed attempts.

These factors contribute to a lack of transparency in agencies’ communication regarding their margins. By choosing to be our entrusted partner and embracing our distinctive approach, we minimize this uncertainty. We offer you full transparency—the way we believe it should be done.

Fixed Margins

In collaboration with entrusted partners, we reduce uncertainty, enabling precise cost-gain analyses and the adoption of fixed margins. These fixed margins are contingent on the annual quantity, with higher volume resulting in lower margins.

The more mediations we facilitate for a single client, the deeper our understanding of the client becomes, leading to more efficient mediations. Additionally, our approach encourages a higher volume of engagements. Using mediations per calendar year provides a clear and straightforward measurement standard and promotes continuous engagement.

Interim Margins

The benchmark margin percentages for commercial recruitment agencies facilitating specialized interim/freelance placements in the Netherlands range between 20% and 30%.

We apply margins for entrusted partners ranging from 12,5% to 20%, depending on the number of mediations realized per calendar year.:

20%…………………0 – 10 mediations
17,5%…………….11 – 25 mediations
15%……………….26 – 50 mediations
12,5%…………………> 50 mediations

At Bowyer & Company we believe in fostering strong and enduring partnerships. The more mediations we collaborate on, the more attractive our rates become. We are committed to providing exceptional value and service to our trusted partners, ensuring a mutually beneficial and prosperous relationship.

Exceeding Industry Marings:
Your best value for Quality recruitment

Beyond Benchmarks: Our Margins Lead the Way

Temp-to-Perm Margins

The benchmark margin percentages for Temp-to-Perm and Contract-to-Hire are challenging to compare to ours due to significant variability influenced by factors such as the duration of the temporary period (e.g., 900 hours, 1,800 hours, or 3,600 hours), associated risks, and costs. However, they typically fall within the range of 30% to 70%.

For our entrusted partners, the maximum margin will be capped at 37.5%, while the minimum margin will be set at 15%.

During the temporary period, the hourly rate charged is generally aligned with that of a seconded employee, with the eventual employee’s salary always communicated in advance.

For any inquiries or to discuss a potential collaboration, feel free to reach out to us or directly submit your Temp-to-Perm request here.

Permanent Employment Margins

The benchmark margin percentage for permanent employment mediations in the Netherlands range is 25%.

Our margins vary between 17,5% and 25% depending on the number of realized mediations per calender year.:

25%…………………0 – 10 mediations
22,5%…………….11 – 25 mediations
20%……………….26 – 50 mediations
17,5%………………….>50 mediations

Margin Maximization: Redefining Recruitment Efficiency

Premium Service and Quality

In the recruitment industry, quality stands as paramount, much like in any other business. However, unlike most businesses, the saying ‘You don’t do business with the shop, but with the shopkeeper’ holds particularly true, underscoring a pivotal factor contributing to the inconsistency in recruitment quality within the industry.

Recruiters within agencies usually have clearly defined roles, so quality largely depends on the skills of the individual recruiter handling your staffing requirements. While many recruiters are skilled, there are is also a significant number that not possess the same level of proficiency.

The recruitment industry experiences one of the highest turnover rates, resulting in a frequent influx of inexperienced or incompetent recruiters who may not thrive in the long term. Consequently, there’s a high likelihood of encountering such recruiters. This contributes to the inconsistent quality delivered by recruitment agencies, often leading to unmet expectations.

We have two pillars that distinguish our approach, ensuring consistent quality.

Firstly, we ensure that we have excess capacity to handle roles and vacancies exclusively from our trusted partners. We assign only experienced recruiters to manage these assignments, while less experienced staff support them or handle other non-partner roles. This approach ensures that our entrusted partners receive dedicated attention from our expert recruitment team.

Secondly, to mitigate the reliance on individual recruiter performance, we employ a unique system: our proprietary BoCo platform. This platform incorporates and monitors various recruiter-variables, criteria such as success ratios, niche expertise, and client expertise. Using a data-driven approach, we match the most suitable recruiters with specific roles. Additionally, we introduce an element of internal competition, where multiple recruiters compete to identify and select the best-matching candidates, ensuring optimal outcomes for our clients.
