How does it work?

1) Input your work setup - how long will the project last, how many hours will it take up per month.

2) Enter your law firm costs - if it’s a fixed fee, tick that box and enter the amount. If you’re charged hourly, input the rate (remember to include the combined rate if you’re charged for multiple lawyers/firms). You can change the VAT if you need.

3) Put in the expected salary of this person (use our salary report if you need some guidance). Slide to the amount of bonus and t

he usual recruitment fee you pay, plus any extra costs like visa/medical insurance. The dependents are as per your company policy - it automatically adds.

4) Finally, do the same for the Collins Search Secondee. Within that, there’s an automatic 5% added for payroll and other associated administrative costs.

5) Check out the answers! The allocations allow you to take a part of each answer to get a blended scenario, as we know there isn’t a ‘one-size-fits-all’ for this. You can compare the costs, and look at cumulative expenses. Finally, feel free to email yourself the report or download a Word copy.
