Broken Promises & High Fees: The Truth.

Traditional Recruitment Is Broken — Here’s What Actually Works

Hiring should be a solution.
But for many companies — especially in tech — it’s become a new bottleneck.

You’re looking for skilled people.
Engineers, developers, specialists.
Your team is solid, your culture is strong, your growth is real.
So… where are the candidates?

Enter traditional recruitment.
You pay 20–30% fees.
You get pushed candidates.
And you still end up doing the heavy lifting — sifting, convincing, onboarding, retaining.

It’s broken.
And deep down, you know it.

The Problem With Traditional Recruitment

Traditional recruitment models are not designed to solve your hiring challenges.
They’re designed to hit commission targets.

Here’s what often happens:

• Agencies flood your inbox with resumes — not with relevance, but with volume.

• Candidates are nudged into roles that don’t quite fit (“You can always quit after 3 months”).

• Employers are promised pipelines. What they get is pressure.

• Fees are sky-high, regardless of the outcome.

• And if a hire doesn’t work out? You're back at square one — fee lost, time lost, trust lost.

This isn’t a partnership.
This is friction dressed as a service.

It Doesn’t Have to Be This Way

At Membership Recruitment, we believe in flipping the model.

Instead of maximizing fees, we maximize fit.
Instead of empty promises, we offer clarity and control.
And instead of chasing bonuses, we invest in tech that works.

Here’s how we do it differently:

✅ Only 5% fee — and only after the probation period is successful
✅ No placement, no fee. Period.
✅ Recruitment that truly unburdens the employer
✅ Real human contact, real expectations
✅ Happy clients, not hit targets

The Bottom Line

You shouldn’t need to gamble on recruitment.
You shouldn’t feel like you're navigating a system designed to benefit everyone but you.

Recruitment should solve problems, not create new ones.
It should unburden, not overwhelm.
And most of all, it should be a process you trust.
