noun
agent's charge; mediation fee; brokerage fee
A fee paid to an agent or intermediary for arranging a transaction, introduction, or mediation. Common in business and real estate contexts.
不動産の売買では、仲介業者に斡旋料を支払うことがある。
In real estate transactions, a mediation fee may be paid to the intermediary.
この求人は紹介会社を通すと斡旋料がかかります。
For this job opening, a placement fee applies if you go through an agency.
Compound of 斡旋 (あっせん, 'mediation') and 料 (りょう, 'fee'). The kanji 斡 is relatively rare and not part of the Jōyō kanji list, so the word is sometimes written with kana as あっせん料.
