A contingency search is the most common type. With this model, you only pay a fee if you hire a candidate we present to you. It's a low-risk option ideal for roles that are not time-sensitive or highly specialized. An engaged search requires a small, non-refundable fee upfront to secure our services, but the majority of the fee is still contingent on a successful hire. This model dedicates more of our time and resources to your specific search. A retained search is reserved for critical, high-level roles. It involves an exclusive partnership and is paid in installments, typically at the start, middle, and end of the search process. This model guarantees a dedicated focus and a comprehensive, customized recruitment strategy.
