New to this profession as I am, you quickly find out that on average we (as recruiters) do not have the freshest reputation. Stalking candidates and/or clients, little transparency when it’s all about trust and reliability, are examples of irritants.
And that’s when the point is to connect a candidate and a company in such a way that both see the match as completely viable. This requires close coordination, reliability and transparency.

Open form (what is that?).
To reverse this paradox, at least in part, Xentys has come up with “Open Form”: a clear and open formula for search/recruitment/deta-property that clearly and transparently formulates costs, risk mark-ups and choices in risk. And so is a beginning for reliability and trust.

Project Procurement in the Machine Building Sector
How does it work?
Open form’s main features are:
- Exclusive assignment for a period of 6 weeks: this allows us to tell the company’s story and convince the candidate of the company’s intentions and what his or her role will be in it.
- A clear outline of cost and risk calculation. Strong candidates do not want to be paid on a flex basis first in the run-up to a new job. The client wants flexibility. Then Xentys hires the candidate, thereby bearing the risk of premature termination, which translates to a surcharge on salary costs. Once agreed upon, the agreed-upon mark-up remains in place and there is a transparent link between monthly wages and costs for the client.
- The fee for finding a suitable candidate is incorporated into the cost of secondment, spread over 6 months.
- If we and you as a client have done well together, the candidate can be employed (permanent or otherwise) from 6 months after starting without further obligations towards xentys.
- With this construction, the financial risk if the candidate is let go, lies with Xentys, which thus has a strong incentive to find and select the right candidate and not just someone with a nice CV. That seems fair to me where success of the recruitment process is key.
