What is your Service Fee?

Do you work at less than 8.33%?
Preferably not. However, in some situations, it may be beneficial to work at lower rates because franchise partners have relatively low overhead costs.
What is the revenue-sharing percentage?
70% is the Franchise Partner's share and 30% is charged as royalty fees.
Can you give me an example of the revenue sharing?
For example, if you place a candidate at an annual CTC of ₹6,00,000, the service fee at 8.33% would be ₹49,980.
The Franchise Partner's share is 70% of the Service Fee, subject to applicable taxes and deductions.
What is the payment cycle?
Payments are expected from clients within 30–45 days after the candidate joins. Sometimes clients may delay payment beyond this period, which is outside Talent Corner's control.
When do you transfer money to me?
Your share is transferred within 7 days of Talent Corner receiving the client payment.
What is the total investment?
The one-time franchise investment is ₹2,95,000 inclusive of GST. In addition, job portal subscriptions cost approximately ₹80,000–₹1 lakh annually.
Can you deduct my Franchise Fee from my earnings?
