Fee structure


Our Fees

Jouve & Associés operates solely on a retained basis and only when mandated by the client company.

Our fees are calculated per recruitment and are based on one-third of each successful candidate’s total first-year compensation, with pre-agreed retainer fees invoiced during the course of the search. Search-related expenses are invoiced separately. Our retainer fees are credited against the full fee due upon search completion.

Our commitment is to work until a satisfactory solution is found for each executive recruitment undertaken by our firm.

We apply a flat fee for the recruitment of Board members, Non-Executive Directors and Operating Partners for VC-backed ventures.

In the case of entrepreneurial ventures where equity factors or upside incentives come into play, we design a flat fee structure on mutually agreed upon terms at the outset of the search.
