Search Options

We work on a contingency or retainer fee basis for our client firms.

Retained Search

We recommend this option for your most critical staffing needs and especially when time is of the essence.

A Retained Search affords you the following:

we create and execute a search strategy designed for specific requirements

priority, dedicated time of the Search Consultant to fill position(s)

exclusivity of Retained Search presentation

exclusivity of developed candidates for 30 days

assurance that the candidate pool has been searched in-depth

the highest likelihood and fastest means of filling urgent needs.

By initiating a Retained Search, you will gain the committed time of a Search Consultant who will set aside all other searches. Of the estimated fees, one-third is due upfront and one-third is due upon submission of a pre-agreed number of qualified candidates that enter into the your interview process. The final one-third is due and payable 30 days after the hired candidate's start date.

Contingency Search

We offer varying levels of Contingency Search Services. Standard fees and client committment ensure our full range of services, including a focused search for priority openings. Contingency Searches can be cost-effective because a fee is paid only when the candidate starts employment.

A Contingency Search usually includes the following:

a search consultant actively recruiting for a specific position

assurance of a concentrated effort to contact a large volume of candidates on the behalf of the client company

full qualification of candidates and guidance throughout the search, interview and hiring process.

To initiate a Contingency Search, a simple fee agreement is signed by both parties acknowledging that if one of our candidates is hired, a fee will be paid.
