Job Placement Cost and Fee Structure
The cost of a job placement engagement follows the scope the referral source authorizes, priced on a written fee schedule with an estimate provided before any work starts. The referral source sets the scope and the period of search it authorizes, and a change to either is confirmed in writing before the work goes on, together with any change to the fee.
Scope and estimate
Job placement is priced for the scope the referral source authorizes. KWVRS provides a written fee schedule and an estimate before work begins.
What drives cost
- The scope referred: full placement, job-seeking skills training, a labor market survey with leads, or search documentation
- How narrow the restrictions are and how many target occupations remain
- The size of the labor market and the number of employers to contact
- The reporting interval the referral source sets
Billing structure
The referral source receives a written fee schedule and an estimate for the scope referred before any work begins, and the fee and its payment terms are confirmed in writing with the referral.
Questions about job placement cost and fee structure
What drives the cost of a job placement engagement?
The scope first: full placement costs more than job-seeking skills training alone or a labor market survey with live leads, because job development and reporting run for the whole authorized period. Within a scope, the restrictions decide how many target occupations survive and how many employers have to be reached, the labor market decides how far the search travels, and the reporting interval decides how often a report is written.
Does KWVRS provide an estimate before job placement work begins?
Yes. The fee schedule and a written estimate for the scope referred come before any work starts, and the referral source approves both. To scope the estimate, send the restrictions on file, the work history, the person's labor market and the reporting interval expected. Where a period of search is authorized, the search stops for a written extension when it ends.
Is job-seeking skills training priced differently from full job placement?
It is priced on the same fee schedule, but it costs less because it stops before job development. The sessions cover the resume, the applications and interview preparation for the target occupations, and the engagement closes with a short report of what was prepared. A referral source that later wants the search run as well authorizes the wider scope in writing and the engagement widens from there.
Who pays for job placement when an attorney refers?
The referral source does, under the same written estimate and fee schedule that a carrier or an insurer receives. An attorney who retains KWVRS to run and document a client's search signs an engagement letter that states the scope, the period of the search, the reporting interval, the fee and its payment terms. Where a third party has agreed to pay, the engagement letter names that party before work begins.
Is in-person job placement priced differently from remote work?
No. In-person and remote job placement are priced on the same written fee schedule, with the estimate provided before work begins. The estimate states which meetings are in person, and the referral source decides whether in-person work is wanted before any of it is scheduled, so nothing is added to the scope without its approval.
