Select an arrangement — the charges will appear below

Contract-to-hire — contract first, absorb later
Payroll only — you found them, we employ them
Not sure yet — tell us and we will advise
Choose an arrangement above and its charges — fee, invoicing, replacement — will appear here in full.
Permanent placement
One fee, paid once, when someone joins.
The candidate is hired by you and goes onto your payroll from day one.
Fee
8.33% of fixed annual CTC — one month’s salary. Senior and niche roles are quoted separately, in writing, before the search begins.
Invoice
Raised on the candidate’s date of joining . Payable within 15 days .
Replacement
If the candidate leaves within 90 days of joining, we replace them once for the same role at no charge.
Nothing upfront
No retainer. No exclusivity. Nothing is payable unless someone actually joins.
Staff augmentation
The consultant works for you. We employ them.
They sit in your programme and take direction from you, but are employed and paid by Rufouss.
Your budget
Tell us the number first. We will say plainly whether the role can be filled at that budget — before we start searching. If it cannot, you hear that instead of a shortlist you will not hire.
Billing
An agreed monthly rate per consultant , invoiced monthly against timesheets you approve. Payable within 15 days .
Employment
The consultant is on Rufouss payroll for the whole engagement. You raise one purchase order and receive one invoice.
Replacement
If a consultant becomes unavailable mid-engagement, we source a like-for-like replacement. Timelines depend on the skill and are confirmed per role.
Contract-to-hire
Run them on our payroll first. Absorb them once you are sure.
The usual choice for a team making its first SAP hire.
Contract period
Billed monthly at an agreed rate, exactly as staff augmentation. Payable within 15 days .
Conversion
Absorb the consultant onto your payroll after 12 months at no conversion charge . Convert earlier and a conversion charge applies, reducing by one twelfth for every month already billed.
Your budget
Share the monthly budget and the CTC you would convert at. We will tell you whether both are realistic before we search.
No commitment
You carry no permanent cost until the work has proved itself. If you do not convert, the contract simply ends.
Payroll only
You found the person. We employ and pay them.
Common where a team has no India entity yet, or is hiring ahead of one.
What we do
The person you have already selected is employed and paid by Rufouss and works on your programme. We do not re-interview your choice.
Fee
A management fee per head , quoted against the CTC and the number of people. Send us both and you will have a number the same day.
What we need
Their name, the agreed CTC and the start date. Nothing else to begin.
Invoice
Monthly. Payable within 15 days .
Not sure yet
That is a normal place to start.
Fill in the role above and send it. We will come back with the arrangement that actually fits what you are trying to do, and what it would cost — so you are choosing between real numbers rather than guessing.
Your budget — monthly rate, or a range
Applies to every arrangement
All charges are exclusive of GST , currently 18%.
Charges are calculated on fixed annual CTC — not variable pay, joining bonus, relocation or reimbursements.
We start sourcing as soon as this reaches us. The vendor agreement follows separately for signature and does not hold up the search.
The charges for this arrangement work for us — please start sourcing and send the vendor agreement across.
Send enquiry
Enquiries reach the consultant who covers that skill area, and you get a copy of the charges you selected by email — so there is no confusion later about what was quoted.
