Pricing Options

The consulting agreement offers HR consultants several pricing options for their services:

  • Per Hour – Hourly rates are ideal for shorter projects, such as assisting clients with employee background checks or conducting one-time training sessions.
  • Per Job (Flat Fee) – This pricing format gives clients the costs upfront, which simplifies budgeting and avoids concerns of hourly overages.
  • Retainer – A retainer fee is a down payment on future services. It guarantees the consultant’s availability for a specified number of hours or tasks within a set time frame.
