No. Unlike agencies that charge 20–25% of salary, Lateral has no placement fees, no success fees, and no hidden costs. You pay for the platform and the work — not a percentage of your hire's compensation.
Agencies typically charge $36,000–$50,000+ per hire (20–25% of base salary). Lateral costs a fraction of that. We'll walk you through the exact economics on a call — it's usually the thing that makes people's jaws drop.
Yes. For companies hiring multiple roles simultaneously, we offer custom pricing that improves with volume. Talk to us about your needs.
An internal recruiter costs $80–120K/year in salary alone, plus tools, plus management overhead. Lateral gives you AI-powered sourcing at scale plus a Forward Deployed Recruiter — without the long-term commitment or the full-time cost.
