Is Randstad’s high markup reducing your recruitment budget?

Both Global Squirrels and Randstad offer a similar staffing solution; however, our platform’s pricing model grants Global Squirrels an edge over Randstad and its competitors. Just like other traditional staffing agencies, Randstad also charges a high markup, between 30% and 50%, of the hired staff. This results in inflated billing, significantly reducing the compensation offered to your talent. Moreover, when you work with these agencies, you may also struggle to know how much your hired worker is getting paid by them. Similarly, your talent will be unaware of the actual billing for the services they are providing to you. In the long run, this impacts employee retention, resulting in higher turnover rates due to a lack of transparency. This is why companies look for Randstad alternatives, where they can get a much better value within their talent recruitment budget.

Among Randstad’s competitors, Global Squirrels stands out by offering both recruitment and payrolling/Employer of Record (EOR) solutions in a single platform without charging any markup or hidden fees. To hire top local/offshore talent using our platform, you just need to pay the payroll cost and a flat fee. Simply sign up for free and post your vacancy. In 2 to 5 business days, we will provide you with curated profiles for interviewing and hiring. Our platform will also send email notifications to you at every step of the hiring process. The best part is you can view the pay expectations of the contractor and the monthly hiring cost, including our flat fee, along with resume, cover letter, etc. This transparent pricing model significantly reduces chances of turnover for the talent hired through our platform.
