Retained Search

We recommend this option when seeking to fill your most crucial positions as well as for all staffing levels where time is a critical factor. 

A Retained Search affords our clients the following:

  • we create and execute a search strategy designed for your specific requirements  
  • priority, dedicated time of the Search Consultant to fill your 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 their most urgent needs.  

To initiate a Retained Search and gain the committed time of a Search Consultant, setting aside all other searches, a client will pay one third of the total estimated fee upfront, one third of the total estimated fee at the submission of a pre-agreed number of qualified candidates, usually 3 to 5, that enter into the Client’s interview process. The final one third is due and payable 30 days after the start date of the hired candidate. 

Please refer to a project search for multiple retained positions.
