  • How is the Matching Fee determined?
    The Matching Fee is determined based on customer agreements, supplier agreements, and market conditions and may vary between different bookings.
  • Who pays the Matching Fee?
    Typically, both the organization in need of a consultant and the company employing the consultant pay. Some customer and supplier agreements may regulate the Matching Fee.
  • What happens if no booking is made?
    No booking, no Matching Fee!
