What a recruitment agency in Kochi usually costs, and what we do instead
Agencies in Kochi 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 Kochi agency | Scowter | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee | 15 to 25 percent of first-year salary, more for executive search | One flat fee per role, agreed before we start |
| When you pay | On placement, sometimes a retainer up front | Flat monthly fee while the role is open, no retainer |
| Who does the work | One recruiter working several clients | AI agents search daily, a human recruiter interviews and verifies |
| Where candidates come from | Job ads and the recruiter's own contacts | Our own talent pool first, then 150+ job boards |
| What you receive | CVs to screen yourself | A ready-to-hire shortlist with interview notes, salary and start date |
| After the shortlist | You chase scheduling | We handle scheduling, follow-ups and offer coordination |

Recruitment agencies in Kochi: common questions
How much does a recruitment agency in Kochi charge?
+
Most agencies in Kochi, like elsewhere, charge a percentage of the first-year salary, usually between 15 and 25 percent for contingency search and more for retained executive search. Scowter charges one flat fee per role instead, agreed before the search starts, so a senior hire costs the same as a junior one.
Which roles are hardest to fill in Kochi right now?
+
QA Engineer, Full Stack Developer, Account Manager and Project Manager have the most open postings in Kochi this week in Scowter's index, which usually means the longest time to fill. Those are the roles where an agency with its own talent pool saves the most time.
Do you have candidates already in Kochi?
+
We start every Kochi search in our own talent pool, which holds pre-vetted, actively job-hunting people in India and worldwide, and then widen to 150+ job boards. Indian citizens can work anywhere in the country.
How fast can a staffing agency fill a role in Kochi?
+
It depends on the role and the notice periods common in India. Notice periods of 30 to 90 days are normal in India, so employers ask about it on the first call and value early joiners. We send the first screened profiles as soon as the human interviews are done and keep going until the seat is filled.
Which companies are hiring the most in Kochi?
+
This week the employers with the most open roles in Kochi include EY, Accenture in India, Important Company of the Sector and Reubro International. If you are competing with them for the same people, speed and a clear offer matter more than the agency's brand.
Is Scowter a local Kochi agency?
