At Stopgap, we’re up-front and honest about money and it’s something that we never fall out about – another reason that our approach to freelance and permanent marketing recruitment is positively different. We want our marketing candidates to be happy with their deal and you to be happy with yours.
Stopgap freelancers – fixed rate of 15%
Stopgap freelance marketers work on day rates rather than pro-rata annual salaries. When we quote you a rate, this is the amount paid to the freelance candidate and our fee goes on top. Holiday pay, obligatory for all freelancers, is charged at 12.07% in line with the Working Time Regulations 1998 update which has increased the minimum holiday entitlement 28 days. If you are unable to pay a freelancer through your payroll, we’ll pay them through ours – 15% covers Employer’s NICs and Stopgap’s administration.

Stopgap permanent marketing placements – fixed rate of 20%
When hiring a Stopgap candidate for a permanent marketing job, you simply pay 20% of their gross annual salary, or 18% if they’ve worked for you as a freelance marketer for three months or more within the last year.
Or, if you prefer, you can pay through our unique ‘pay as you go’ option - rather than paying within 30 days of the permanent placement you can spread the cost over six months in six equal installments - all you need to do is set up a standing order. It's interest free so no extra cost to you! For further information on this feel free to contact one of the team today.
And not only that, if a marketer we place with you on a permanent basis leaves, for any reason, within the first six months, we’ll rebate the fee proportionately for the time they were with you – you can’t say fairer than that! Yet another reason why Stopgap continues to be Positively Different when it comes to permanent marketing recruitment.
