Vendors, Pricing & Procurement

Can employer branding be done with a fixed price?

Short Answer

Yes, if scope is defined (defined process and research, clear deliverables) and you avoid “unlimited stakeholders.”

Long Answer

Fixed price works when you define inputs and outputs clearly: number of interviews, number of competitors audited, number of role families, list of deliverables, and timeline. It breaks when scope creep enters: “one more round of feedback,” “add two regions,” “now include all functions,” “also rebuild the site.” For a fixed-price engagement, insist on: a crisp scope, change-control rules, and deliverables that are operational (templates/talk tracks) with a measurement plan. Fixed price is easiest when you’re building choosability for a focused set of roles first.
