How does a flat plan compare with agency fees?

Recruiting agencies usually charge 20 to 25 percent of a developer's first year salary for each hire, based on public agency rate cards. Some charge more for senior or niche roles. The fee repeats for every person you hire.

The example on the right uses a senior developer salary of 120,000 USD, which falls inside the ranges that public salary surveys report for the US. Your numbers will differ, so plug in your own salary and fee.
