PRICING FAQ
The Questions We Get Most
Everything about fees, currency, commitment, and what happens if a hire doesn't work out.
Are there setup fees or recruiter fees?
No. The monthly rate is everything — sourcing, vetting, onboarding, HR, payroll, and account management included. No placement fee, no percentage markup, no kickers. If a hire doesn't work out in the first 30 days we replace them at no additional cost.
How does currency and invoicing work?
Invoices are issued in Canadian dollars from Obelisk Talent Inc., a Canadian-incorporated company. You pay in CAD, full stop. No currency conversion, no FX surprises, no offshore wire complexity. The monthly rate is locked for the life of the engagement.
Is there a minimum commitment?
No. Engagements are month-to-month with no minimum term — either party can end one with 30 days' written notice. The 30-day replacement guarantee applies from your hire's start date.
What happens if a hire doesn't work out?
Within the first 30 days, we replace the hire at no additional cost — new shortlist, new onboarding, same monthly rate. After 30 days, we'll still replace on request as part of the ongoing service. Either way, you aren't stuck with a mis-match.
Can I hire more than one person?
Yes. You can run multiple roles through one contract — it's why pricing is a flat monthly rate per hire. Add roles as you need them; the contract structure doesn't change.
Is the rate the same every month?
Yes. The monthly rate is flat for the life of the engagement. No performance kickers, no success fees, no retention bonuses. If your hire is excellent — which is the point — that's value you capture, not us.
