A contingency search is an excellent method for clients to navigate the seemingly endless stream of talent without the upfront financial commitment of a retained search. This search is most often used for mid-level positions or positions where the talent pool is larger. Contigency searches are the most effective service for organizations seeking to compliment an internal recruiting function, affect staff augmentation for a long-term, project, or simply wish to assess talent from multiple external sources.

By utilizing the substantial array of resources at our disposal; including discrete referral channels, proprietary sourcing technology, and registered talent community members, you’ll choose from a number of prescreened and prequalified candidates. Payment is contingent upon the successful identification, selection and hire of one of our referred candidates.

Fees for this type of search are generally a percentage of the candidate’s first year guaranteed base salary, with the fee being paid by the client. Our guarantee will vary depending upon the negotiated fee.
