For Companies · Bulk hiring
A bulk hiring agency that charges a flat ₹6,499 per hire.
When you need several people for similar roles at once, such as a sales-team ramp or a batch of support hires, a percentage of every salary adds up quickly. When you're hiring 15 or more people for the same role, AxureOne charges a flat ₹6,499 per hire instead, so the cost per hire doesn't rise because you're hiring faster or because the role pays more.
We're headquartered in Ahmedabad and recruit across India. A bulk requirement runs on the same end-to-end recruitment as every other mandate, each hire is invoiced only on their joining date, and every hire carries the 90-day replacement guarantee.*
What it costs
How the flat fee works.
Each person hired is billed a fixed ₹6,499 per hire, rather than a share of their CTC. It applies once you're hiring 15 or more people for the same role, so scaling up doesn't mean paying a rising agency percentage.
Each hire is invoiced on their own joining date, with payment due within 15 days and GST as per law. There's no database-access fee and no job-posting fee on top.
Of annual CTC, success-based — you pay only on a successful hire. Our standard for junior to senior roles.
A flat fee per hire when you're hiring 15 or more people for the same role — scale up without rising agency percentages.
One price per head
The fee doesn't change with the salary, so a requirement of similar roles can be budgeted per person instead of per pay band.
Paid as people join
Invoices follow joining dates, so you pay for the people who actually start, never for the search itself.
The same guarantee
A bulk hire is covered by the same 90-day replacement guarantee as a contingency hire.*
Flat fee or percentage?
When a flat fee beats a percentage, and when it doesn't.
Industry contingency fees in India typically run 8–15% of first-year CTC, charged on every hire and rising with seniority.
A flat fee is the least common model industry-wide, yet it's the one that scales best at volume: the cost of each hire stays put while salaries climb.
Many similar roles: flat fee
Several people for the same or a similar role, such as field sales, customer support, operations or a batch of QA testers, is what the flat fee is for.
One role at a time: contingency
A single hire, or a senior or specialist seat, usually suits contingency, at 6.5% of annual CTC, our standard for junior to senior roles.
Contract or fixed-term volume: ask
We take contract, fixed-term and project-based mandates as well, but there's no published price for them yet, so ask how one would be structured.
What we hire in volume
The roles bulk requirements usually cover.
Bulk requirements tend to be the executional roles a growing business needs several of at once. We recruit across sales and marketing, operations, finance, technology and customer support, for IT and non-IT employers alike.
Public 2026 hiring data puts much of the non-IT volume in sales, supply chain, regulatory and quality roles, while logistics, retail and manufacturing still drive flexible-workforce volume.
Sales teams
Field sales and other sales roles when a team is being built out or expanded.
Support and operations
Customer support and operations roles hired as a group rather than one at a time.
Plant and supply chain
Plant, supply-chain and logistics roles, where headcount moves with demand.
Tech in batches
Several QA testers or support engineers hired alongside a development team.
How it runs
The same five steps, for every hire in the batch.
Volume doesn't change how a good hire is made. Each person on a bulk requirement goes through the five steps every AxureOne mandate runs on.
One brief for the batch
We draft and sharpen the JD once and agree what "right" looks like, so every candidate is measured against the same bar.
Sourcing at volume
Job boards, our private database, AI-assisted sourcing and headhunting, worked together to fill a requirement rather than a single seat.
Screening each candidate
Résumé and qualification checks, a telephonic screen, and hard skills, soft skills and fit assessed person by person.
Coordinated interviews
Interview slots, feedback and candidate follow-up managed across your team, so a batch doesn't stall halfway.
Offers and joining
Salary negotiation, background verification and compliance, and contact with each person through to their joining date.
Joining day is where volume hiring leaks. Industry estimates put offer no-shows in India at around 37% of accepted offers, which is why the follow-up doesn't stop at the offer letter.
The guarantee
Every hire in the batch carries the 90-day guarantee.
Each hire is covered on their own: if one person resigns or doesn't join within 90 days, you get a free replacement for that role.*
The usual conditions apply to each case. The departure has to be a voluntary resignation or a dismissal for misconduct within 90 days of joining, invoices have to be cleared, and the replacement is best effort within 45–60 days. Role changes, restructuring, layoffs and salary or culture mismatch are excluded, and a replacement who leaves isn't replaced again.*
Honest limits
When an in-house team or an RPO will cost you less.
A flat fee is a variable cost: you pay per hire, and nothing through the quiet months. An in-house recruiter is a fixed cost, commonly ₹8–14 lakh a year fully loaded, and the widely cited breakeven sits around 15–20 hires a year.
RPO is commonly cited as undercutting agencies at a sustained 15–25 or more roles a year. If your volume is steady, predictable and well above that line, a lean in-house team or an RPO will very likely beat any agency per hire, and we'll say so rather than sell you a flat fee you don't need.
Where the flat fee earns its place is in bursts, like a team ramp-up or a seasonal peak, when a salaried recruiter would sit idle for the rest of the year.
