Pricing

You pay only when you hire.

One placement fee per hire, and nothing upfront to start a search. We share the fee for your seat on the first call, before any work starts. If the rep doesn't perform in their first 60 days, we replace them free.

What's included

What the fee covers.

Everything from the first call to a rep running your leads, plus a replacement if they leave early.

01

The brief call

We go through the seat with you: trade, territory, lead flow, average ticket and the pay plan you run today.

02

The headhunt

We go after the top reps at the strongest companies in your trade and market, and make the case for joining you.

03

The close-rate check

The close rate each rep claims, checked against their history.

04

The pay-history check

Commission statements or W-2s, read against what the rep says they sold.

05

Reference checks

Conversations with people who worked with them, to confirm the track record.

06

Your shortlist

Reps whose numbers held up. You interview them your way and make the call.

07

The replacement guarantee

If the rep doesn’t perform and is let go within 60 days of their first day, we find one replacement at no extra cost.

08

Support the whole way

Our team is online throughout, from the brief to the offer and the first weeks after.

What the other ways to hire cost.

Published figures, each with a source. They're reference points, not quotes, and every option comes with its own catch.

Option
What it costs
Worth knowing
Contingency recruiterYou pay only when you hire
15-25% of first-year base salary
Replacement guarantees typically run 60-90 days. The fee is usually a share of base pay, so on a commission-heavy plan ask exactly what it’s calculated on.
In-house recruiterYou pay only when you hire
$100,000-$120,000 a year in total pay
From one roofing company's job posting for a sales recruiting manager. Job ad spend comes on top of the salary.
Indeed sponsored jobsYou pay only when you hire
$5-$499 a day budgets, pay-per-click
You pay for clicks, not hires. Most applicants have never closed a deal in a homeowner's kitchen, and you screen every one yourself.
LevelYou pay only when you hire
A one-time placement fee per hire, shared on the first call
You pay only when you hire. Close rate, pay history and references checked before you meet anyone. Free replacement if the rep doesn’t perform in the first 60 days.

Posted and published figures, not what any one company paid. The in-house figure is a single posting.

FAQ

Questions about cost.

  • Why isn't the price on this page?

    It's a one-time placement fee per hire, and we share it with you on the first call, once we know the seat and before any work starts. You'll know the number before we do anything.

  • Is there anything to pay upfront?

    No. There is no fee to start a search, and nothing to pay for the brief call, the search or the shortlist. You pay only when you hire.

  • When exactly do I pay?

    When you hire a rep Level introduced to you. It's a single, one-time placement fee for that hire, with no monthly charges.

  • What if the rep quits?

    If the rep doesn’t perform and is let go within 60 days of their first day, we run one replacement search at no extra cost, and you have 60 days to make that hire. It doesn’t cover reps who leave for other reasons, such as a lack of leads. Sales seats do turn over (B2B sales teams average 35% a year turnover), so it’s worth having. How the guarantee works.

  • Do sales managers cost the same as reps?

    No. Sales manager and director searches cost more than rep searches, because they're harder searches with fewer qualified people. We share the fee for each seat on the first call.

  • Can we hire several reps at once?

    Yes. Put the number of seats in your brief, along with the territories, and we'll plan the searches together on the first call.

  • Do reps pay Level anything?

    No. Level is free for sales reps. The company that hires pays the fee.
