Who pays Post & Place

Paid by the employer, not by you.

Post & Place earns a fee from the company that hires you, usually a share of your first-year salary or a margin on your contract rate. Their client is that company.

What that means for you

Expect roles that fit their open vacancies before roles that fit your plan. Ask which company a role is for before your CV goes anywhere, and apply direct where you can.

To increase your chances of being seen by Post & Place, ensure your professional profile on job boards and professional networks clearly highlights keywords relevant to Retail and IT roles.

Post & Place is most beneficial if you are actively seeking roles within the UK Retail or IT sectors and want to access a broad range of opportunities facilitated by a large network of agencies.

Frequently asked questions

Who pays Post & Place's fee?

Can I register with other recruitment agencies while working with Post & Place?
