Please click on the service offerings below to learn how our innovative performance-based retained process differs from traditional offerings for permanent recruitment, as well as how our interim management solutions are a cost-effective solution versus traditional staffing firms.

Traditional Retained Firm Search Process:

  • Generally specialize in mid to senior level management positions.
  • Travel to their client site where they typically interview multiple members of the senior management team to get a sense of the strategic vision and culture of the organization.
  • Often work with the Board of Directors.
  • Develop networks of industry-specific candidates and contacts often built through involvement in industry specific experiences and professional organizations.
  • Because retained firms work as consultants through exclusive search agreements, they are able to provide dedicated resources to each search.
  • Are a source of competitive intelligence.
  • Have staff that typically comes from industry or has significant industry experience.
  • Provide thorough candidate evaluation to include detailed interviews (often in-person), reference checking, education verification, and behavioral evaluations.
  • Offer extended guarantees, typically 6 to 12 months.
  • Charge monthly expenses for administrative and marketing support, often amounting to thousands of dollars on top of the search fee.
  • Search fee is paid in three installments based on pre-determined timeframes, not results.
  • Typically the best option for a national search, industry-specific positions, or difficult to fill positions.

Traditional Contingent Firm Search Process:

  • Paid a search fee only if one of their referred candidates is hired.
  • Rely on large volume and quick turnarounds.
  • Search fees are typically less than retained.
  • Do not charge any search expenses.
  • Commit limited resources to any one particular search as there is no guarantee of receiving any search fees. Rather, they focus more on marketing candidates to a wide variety of employers.
  • Are more reliant on job boards and the Internet to source candidates.
  • Offer short guarantees, typically 30 to 60 days.
  • Conduct less detailed candidate evaluation process.
  • Typically the best option for searches with a large local candidate pool (non-industry specific).
  • Do not typically offer industry expertise and are not a source of competitive intelligence.
