Retained Search

Retained Search is the best option for middle management and executive level searches that involve more complexity and when time and confidentiality are critical. Retained search is particularly appropriate when the need is urgent, the hire will have a significant impact on company performance, or new opportunities emerge that must be quickly addressed. Retained search represents a commitment from both sides and sends a strong message to candidates that the company highly values this opportunity. We provide our clients with speed, quality and guaranteed performance outcomes. Our performance-based pricing structure ensures that you get what you pay for…and a whole lot more.

The retained search recruiter you meet at the outset of the relationship is the person who will be your single point of contact throughout the relationship. Our retained search consultants remain with you every step of the way, meeting you at the beginning and following through with you and the successful candidate long after the hire. The result of that singular dedication is an extremely high success rate.

For critically important hires, getting everything right the first time is crucial for success. We listen to all of the dynamics involved in the retained recruiting process, ensuring that everyone in your organization—from the hiring manager to the head of HR—and our organization, are on the same page. Our retained search recruiters are true business partners with your company. By clarifying expectations and minimizing misunderstandings at the outset, we ensure that your organization moves efficiently through the retained recruiting process.

Business intelligence is a critical component of a successful retained searche. To ensure that the candidate you hire will ultimately drive business success for your company, our retained search experts invest up front in comprehensive research. We assess both the position and your corporate strategy. Our comprehensive research evaluates the strategic, financial, political, cultural and operational aspects of the company to ensure we have a firm understanding of the candidate profile necessary to succeed.
