Placement fee recovery
Recovery of permanent placement fees, including accounts where the placed candidate is still with the client.
Recruitment & labour hire
Debt recovery for recruitment & labour hire
Placement fees, timesheet disputes and temp labour accounts create a persistent overdue-invoice problem for recruitment and labour hire firms. Merion recovers them professionally on a commission-only basis.
Recruitment and labour hire businesses extend significant credit on every placement. Permanent placement fees are invoiced on day one and chased for months. Temp and contract labour is billed weekly and occasionally disputed — hours, rates, or the engagement itself. And when a client stalls on a placement fee while the placed candidate is already embedded in their team, the agency has no practical leverage left.
Merion recovers commercial accounts for recruitment agencies and labour hire firms, including placement fees, weekly timesheet invoices and temp labour balances. We understand the rebate and replacement clauses common in recruitment agreements and build the recovery around the actual terms of the engagement.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you recover a placement fee the client is disputing?
We assess the account against the terms of the recruitment agreement first. Where the fee is genuinely owing, we recover it professionally — disputes that have a factual basis are handled fairly.
What about timesheet disputes?
We review the timesheets and the engagement terms. A clear factual position resolves more than pressure, and we build the recovery on that basis.
How are fees structured?
Commission only on what we recover, agreed in writing before we start.
