Why Pay a £19,000 Fee to Hire a Kettering Finance Director?

The Anatomy of Kettering Financial Recruitment

In the heart of North Northamptonshire, Kettering's logistics, manufacturing, and distribution corridors demand highly sophisticated financial leadership. Yet, local businesses continue to pay inflated, percentage-based placement fees to secure qualified Finance Directors. According to real-time ONS labor market data and regional payroll trackers, the median salary for a senior Finance Director in the Kettering, Wellingborough, and Corby economic zone is currently £95,000.

Under legacy recruitment agency terms—typically structured at 20% of the candidate's first-year salary—companies are invoiced a staggering £19,000 for a single placement. We believe this pricing model is fundamentally broken. It charges you more simply because the candidate is worth more, despite the recruitment workflow remaining identical. VacanCV dismantles this legacy system by offering a comprehensive, premium candidate search for a flat fee of just £795.

The Math of Recruitment Exploitation

Why should your business pay £19,000 to hire an executive? Traditional agencies argue that high-level recruitment requires bespoke, manual executive search methodologies. In reality, modern recruitment relies on digital networks, algorithmic targeting, and programmatic distribution—tools that we have optimized to near perfection.

Consider the comparative mechanics of your investment:

• Traditional Agency ROI: A 20% commission on £95,000 results in a cost-per-hire of £19,000. This drains capital directly from your operational budget, limiting your ability to fund the very initiatives your new Finance Director is being hired to oversee.
• VacanCV Flat-Fee ROI: Our flat £795 fee yields a 2,289% ROI compared to the traditional agency alternative, immediately retaining £18,205 of capital within your balance sheet.
