To the left is the “top 50 average billing companies” based on our

calculations.

By using our extensive market knowledge we have made a few

simple assumptions to create what we believe to be a top

average biller list.

The expectations are, those hired in the last 12 months will

merely cover the revenue of those that have left the business

that year, and that 20% of staff in recruitment businesses are

non billing (aka Directors, trainers, administrators,

marketing etc).

and it is clear he has a well established relationship with his clients.”

“Ion Search are by far the bestrecruiters I have worked with, making a very

stressful and difficult decision as easy as possible. I would highly recommend them to anybody

considering their next move, and would definitely work with them in the future.”

“Sanne’s commitment and dedication impressed me the most as well as her ability

to make a good match between candidate and client! Without a doubt I would highly

recommend Sanne for both recruitment companies as well as consultants.”
