What a recruitment agency in Dublin usually costs, and what we do instead
Agencies in Dublin follow the same model as agencies everywhere: a percentage of salary on placement. Scowter is a recruiting agency run by AI agents and human recruiters at one flat fee, so the price is known before the search starts.
| Typical Dublin agency | Scowter | |
