Hire the right person, faster, for one low fixed fee.
We give busy owners, executives and overrun HR teams their time back. We run the slow, draining first stage of hiring (writing the ad, screening every applicant, and handing you a short, accurate shortlist) so you only meet people worth interviewing. No agency fees. No commissions. Just results.
Why owners, executives and HR teams choose us
Four reasons hiring feels easier the moment you hand it to us.
Saves you hours
We take the time-consuming first stage off your plate, so a busy executive or an overrun HR team never has to wade through a pile of CVs again.
Accurate shortlists
Our structured screening method is built around your real non-negotiables, so the candidates you meet genuinely fit the role.
Fast turnaround
Technology we have developed lets us process and screen applications quickly. We are usually ready to start the same day.
One low fixed fee
Affordable and predictable: the same flat fee whatever the role. No percentage of salary, no surprises.
Mornington Screening Service vs An Agency
| MSS | Agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for $75k hire | $700 | $7,500 |
| Fee for $125k hire | $700 | $15,000 |
| Fee for $175,000 hire | $700 | $35,000 |
| Surplus applicants | ||
| If hired the fee is | ZERO | Fee as per above |
Why the difference?
Traditional recruitment agencies charge a percentage of the successful candidate's salary. As the salary increases, so does the recruitment fee.
At Mornington Screening Service, we charge a fixed fee for the service we provide, not a commission based on salary.
