Accelerate your perm placements. Unlock your cashflow.
Waiting weeks—or even months—for your permanent placement fees to be paid? With RFS Perm Advance, you don’t have to.
We’ve designed a smarter way for recruitment agencies to get paid faster on perm placements. Access a portion of your fee immediately after invoicing, improve your cashflow, and take control of your agency’s growth—without the delays, admin hassle or financial risk.
What is RFS Perm Advance?
RFS Perm Advance gives you fast access to your permanent placement fees.
As soon as you invoice, we release a percentage of the fee up front. You’ll receive the rest once your client settles the invoice.
It’s fast. It’s simple. And it’s fully integrated with our agency portal.
