How we calculate
The comparison uses published agency fee ranges for India and our own fee. Every figure below is an estimate, and you can change the inputs.
Typical agency (15%) costs
The standard contingency fee charged by recruitment agencies in India ranges from 8.33% to 20% of annual CTC. We use 15% as a mid-market benchmark for IT roles. The calculator assumes you still carry the internal HR time and job-board costs below when you use such an agency.
Covers HR team time spent on screening resumes, scheduling interviews, coordinating across departments, conducting reference checks, and managing the offer process. This is an estimate. Your own figure may be higher or lower.
Includes proportional costs of Naukri premium listings, LinkedIn Recruiter licenses, ATS subscriptions (Lever, Greenhouse, etc.), and other sourcing tools, amortized across hires.
StakTeck costs
The fee covers sourcing, technical screening, behavioural assessment, interview coordination, offer management, background verification and support through joining. There are no separate charges for HR coordination, job boards or ATS.
Replacement terms are agreed in your contract before the search starts. If a placed candidate leaves inside the agreed period, we search again on those terms.
Senior and leadership roles require specialized sourcing from passive talent networks. Urgent timelines (15 or 7 days) require dedicated priority teams. Both are shown as separate lines in the calculator.
