For employers

Hire without paying 20% of a salary.

Agencies are expensive. Job boards bury you in unsuitable applications. SOURCD gives you screened candidates at a fixed price per CV, so you only pay for people worth talking to.

Agency percentages are typical UK contingency rates; actual fees vary by agency and role.

Less sifting

No more hundreds of applications. You receive a short list of screened profiles that match your brief.

Privacy first

Profiles stay anonymised until you unlock, protecting candidates and keeping your search confidential.

You stay in control

Contact candidates directly, run your own process, and never pay a placement fee.

Common questions

How much does a recruitment agency usually charge in the UK?+

Contingency agencies commonly charge 15–25% of the hire's first-year salary. On a £45,000 role at 20%, that is £9,000.

What's the alternative to an agency?+

Job boards are cheap but bring lots of unqualified applicants. SOURCD sits in between: our team sources and screens candidates, and you pay per CV you unlock.

Do I still interview the candidates myself?+

Yes. You unlock the candidates you like, contact them directly and run your own interviews.
