Why Pay a Legacy Agency £19,000 to Recruit Your Beeston Finance Director?

The Local Reality: The Nottinghamshire Executive Deficit

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), the demand for qualified senior financial leaders in Nottinghamshire has surged by 14.2% year-on-year. For businesses operating within Beeston, the NG9 postcode, and the broader Nottingham metropolitan area, finding a Finance Director who can navigate current macroeconomic pressures is critical. However, the traditional executive search landscape in the East Midlands is fundamentally broken.

Legacy recruitment agencies continue to demand contingency fees of 15% to 25% of an executive's first-year base salary. In Beeston, where the current average salary for an experienced Finance Director stands at £95,000 (sourced from localized regional salary surveys), a standard 20% commission results in an invoice of £19,000 for a single hire. This is a disproportionate tax on business growth.

The Mathematical Reality: £795 vs. Traditional Agency Fees

VacanCV operates on a single premise: recruitment is a process, not a lottery. We do not charge contingency commissions. Our Total Saturation Process secures the same executive talent for a fixed fee of £795. Here is how the financial comparison calculates:

• Traditional Agency Commission (20% on £95k salary): £19,000
• VacanCV Flat-Rate Fee: £795
• Direct Bottom-Line Saving: £18,205
• Return on Investment (ROI): 2,289%

By shifting your recruitment strategy from percentage-based pricing to our high-efficiency fixed-fee model, you instantly free up over £18,000. That capital is better spent on actual business development, R&D, or as part of the signing package for your incoming Finance Director.
