About our Fees:
As an employer you should be aware of our policy regarding fees. Indicated below are
two questions from our FAQ page that can assist you in
understanding how are fees are implemented.
How Does Your Firm
Get Paid?
There is never a fee charged to the candidate. The hiring company pays us a percentage of
the person's first year salary (the rate is competitive with the market, and we often give
"multiple-placement discounts" to encourage companies to consider our
candidates). We always offer a guarantee period which commences with the candidate's first
day of employment. Our fee varies based on several factors that are discussed with the
hiring company at the time the "job-order" is given to us. Note that we're a
contingency-based firm with retainer proficiency.
Why
Pay A Fee To A Search Firm When We Can Get Tax Candidates Through Ads?
There are many reasons, but essentially, you get what you pay for! Kutcher Tax Careers
produces quality candidates and saves our client companies time. Quality candidates become
quality employees, who are likely to save our clients money as they perform their work.
Ads draw quantity but not necessarily quality. There is usually a heavy volume of
responses you must sort through and screen. The majority of candidates have either too
little or too much experience compared with your requirements or don't possess the proper
specialization (e.g., Multistate Sales & Use Tax). We get a substantial amount of
business from companies who run ads hoping to attract the right candidate, but find that
they are better served by using our services. We extend our client companies' reach into
the market, resulting in quicker, more accurate and better placements.
In other circumstances, a company seeks to replace or upgrade the position of an existing
employee without that person's knowledge. Since the company can't run an ad identifying
itself, it may consider running a "blind" or "box" ad. Many companies
avoid that approach because potential applicants refrain from responding out of concern
that it's their own company doing the advertising! Our services utilize a confidential and
methodical approach to identifying the right tax candidate.
