Questions
The details, answered.
What does a part-time recruiter cost per month?
At 20 hours a week, $1,200–$2,640 per month depending on seniority and scope. Engagements start part-time and scale when the fit is clear.
How much of the rate reaches the hire?
75%, always. The split is published: of every hour you pay, 75% goes to the person doing the work and 25% goes to nuen. Across this band the hire receives $11.25–$24.75/hr, and the exact dollar split for your engagement is shown in writing before work starts.
What is included in the hourly rate?
Contracting, international payments, compliance documentation, vetting, and ongoing AI training and coaching for the hire — included at no extra cost. English coaching, private health coverage, appreciation benefits and equipment are optional add-ons, billed separately and scoped when you book.
Can the rate change mid-engagement?
Not without your agreement in writing. The rate is set at booking by the individual’s seniority and holds for the engagement. Hours can increase at any time; reducing hours takes the same notice as ending the engagement — one week part-time, two weeks full-time.
What if the recruiter is not the right fit?
Notify nuen in writing and we re-match from the vetted shortlist. If you flag a fit issue within the hire’s first week, that week is not billed.
