    Q: How much will it cost for me to find a job through BGC?​

    ​Absolutely nothing!

    There are zero “hidden costs” for candidates and clients alike when it comes to using the help and services of specialist recruiters at BGC Group. In fact, our recruiters have your best interests since we have ceased operating on a commission-based scheme since 2017.

    Our recruitment consultants will not receive a cut of your pay. However, you will have to note that this may still be a common practice used by other recruiters in our industry in order to stay competitive and maintain low employer costs. This results in poor candidate prospects and high turnover due to bad job matching. BGC believes that whenever high stakes commissions are at play, both candidates and employers end up with a shorter end of the bargain.

    Our success is very much dependent on establishing strong, long-term relationships with our employers, whose success is based on your job longevity. What this essentially means is that our candidates are getting great service for free!

    Also, here's why you should let BGC help you with your job search.
