Flexible Search Structures

Recruiting Engagement Models

The right recruiting structure depends on the position, urgency, candidate scarcity and level of search commitment required.

Contingency recruiting

Contingency recruiting is commonly used for professional searches where the recruiting fee is tied to a successful placement under the agreed engagement terms.

Exclusive recruiting

An exclusive search gives one recruiting partner a defined period to manage the assignment, which can improve coordination and reduce duplicated candidate outreach.

Priority search

A priority engagement can provide a higher level of recruiting focus for employers that need faster or more concentrated sourcing activity.

Retained executive search

Retained search is typically used for leadership, confidential or strategically important positions requiring a dedicated search process.

Campaign-based recruiting

Certain high-volume or specialized recruiting projects may be structured around a defined recruiting campaign rather than a traditional percentage-based search.
