“I hire several times a year and I don't have a recruitment department”
Your own outsourced recruitment department, without the overheads
Two senior recruitment leads, Susana González and Héctor Delgado, in charge of your hiring, your own recruitment platform, LinkedIn and job boards included. We present the best candidates within 7 working days.
From €2,500 a month + VAT
- 7 days
- working days to see the best candidates
- Unlimited
- users on your recruitment platform
- 3 months
- replacement guarantee
- €0
- extra for ads and job boards
If you hire several times a year, this will sound familiar
- Every time a role opens, someone in management or HR drops their work to post ads and read CVs.
- You pay one agency for one search and another for the next, and never know what recruitment will cost you this year.
- Candidates and interviews end up scattered across emails and spreadsheets, so every new search starts from scratch.
- Building your own recruitment team means a salary, an ATS, LinkedIn and job boards to pay for every month.
- Some candidates never hear back, and that says something about your company too.
What we see from the other side of the table
Companies that hire several times a year don't need yet another agency per search: they need a stable recruitment department, with a method and a cost they can plan for.
That's what we offer: a fully fledged recruitment department, working remotely, for a fixed fee.
And your company's image improves: candidates deal with a professional recruitment team that replies to everyone and looks after your company's information.
The example
12 hires a year. Three ways to pay for them.
Roles at €45,000 gross a year. Annual amounts, excluding VAT.
Up to €99,000 less a year than paying per search, and €31,700–35,700 less than an in-house department.
A per-search agency only charges if it fills the vacancy: in the example we assume all are filled. Crearte: Essential plan (10 vacancies) + 2 additional vacancies.
All included
What your recruitment department includes
Everything an in-house recruitment department would have, for a fixed monthly fee.
- Two senior recruitment leads, Susana González and Héctor Delgado, in charge of the whole process: they take part from start to finish and, on top of the interviews within the process itself, run an additional competency-based and/or STAR interview with the finalists you choose together, with a detailed report on each one.
- Your own recruitment platform (ATS), set up for your company, with unlimited users and no licences.
- LinkedIn and job boards included: we post your vacancies on the ones that best fit each role.
- Artificial intelligence to classify candidates and speed up every process.
- The best candidates within 7 working days of opening the vacancy.
- Unlimited candidates in every process, until it closes.
- Your executive roles too, at no extra cost.
- 3-month replacement guarantee: if the person leaves, we search again without using a vacancy from your plan.
- Direct access to the team whenever you need it, for everyone in your organisation involved in hiring.
- A better image for your company: a professional recruitment team that gives feedback to every candidate and handles all your company's information rigorously and confidentially.

Which plan fits you?
Answer five questions and we'll show you your plan, its price, how we'd set it up and the contract.
Each role counts as one vacancy. Up to five people for the same role count as a single vacancy.
A rough figure is enough. We use it to compare with what a per-search agency charges.

The breakdown: what it costs to set it up yourself
An experienced recruiter able to handle all your hiring earns between €33,000 and €36,000 gross a year in Spain, plus social security. Add the ATS, LinkedIn, InfoJobs and other job boards and it comes to almost €6,000 a month.
| Item | On your own | With Crearte |
|---|---|---|
| Recruiter (€33,000–36,000 gross) | €33,000–36,000 | Included |
| Employer social security | €10,500–11,500 | Included |
| Recruitment platform (ATS) | ≈ €3,000 (1–2 users) | Included, unlimited users |
| ≈ €12,000 | Included | |
| InfoJobs | ≈ €8,000 | Included |
| Other job boards | ≈ €1,200 | Included |
| Two senior recruitment leads with a STAR interview and report | — | Included |
| Total per year | ≈ €67,700–71,700 | From €30,000 |
| Per month | ≈ €5,650–5,975 | From €2,500 |
With the Essential plan you save more than half. With the Growth plan you pay less than for an in-house recruiter and have capacity for 20 vacancies a year.
And compared with an agency that charges per search? The market reference is 20–25% of gross annual salary per hire: for €45,000 roles, between €9,000 and €11,250 each. Work it out with your figures or read the full comparison.
Reference costs in Spain, excluding VAT. Salary based on our recruitment experience; social security estimated at around 32%; ATS, LinkedIn and job boards at approximate market prices. And some costs don't appear in the table: sick leave, holidays, recruiter turnover and their learning curve.

Frequently asked questions about the outsourced recruitment department
What exactly is an outsourced recruitment department?
It's a recruitment team that works for your company remotely, for a fixed monthly fee: two senior recruitment leads, Susana González and Héctor Delgado, overseeing the whole process, with your own platform. In the industry it's also known as RPO or Recruiting as a Service.
What counts as one vacancy?
One role to fill. If you're looking for up to five people for the same role, it counts as a single vacancy.
Is there a limit on candidates or users?
No. Candidates are unlimited in every process until it closes, and everyone in your organisation who needs it can access the platform.
Are executive roles included?
Yes, they count like any other vacancy in your plan, at no extra cost.
How does it affect my company's image?
Positively. Every candidate gets feedback from a professional recruitment team, and your company's information is handled rigorously and confidentially throughout the process.
Does it cover vacancies outside Spain?
The published fees are for vacancies in Spain. If you also need to fill roles in other countries, we'll look at your case and propose a suitable price.
Do I pay separately for the platform or job ads?
No. The platform, LinkedIn and the job boards that best fit each role are included in your fee.
What if the person hired leaves in the first few months?
You have a 3-month replacement guarantee: we search again for the same role and it doesn't count as another vacancy in your plan.
How long is the contract?
Twelve months, paid monthly by direct debit. It renews automatically each year unless either party gives two months' notice.
Can I cancel before 12 months?
The contract is annual. If you decide not to continue, you keep the platform and your plan's vacancies until the end of the contracted year.
