Retained Search

A consultative model for when roles are critical, repeat vacancies exist, turnover is high, or growth requires talent forecasting rather than one-off placements.

Key Components of Service

Exclusivity

The hiring organization works with only one search firm, which
guarantees that the firm dedicates significant, high-priority resources to the search.

Payment Structure

A “retained” model involves payments made in installments (e.g., one-third upfront, one-third after a shortlist, one-third upon hire), rather than one payment upon completion.

Deep Research and
Passive Talent Sourcing

Recruiters map the market to find top-tier candidates who are not actively searching for new roles, a key differentiator from contingent search.

Thorough Assessment and Evaluation

Candidates undergo comprehensive assessments, competency-based interviews, and rigorous reference checks to ensure they are the best fit, reducing the risk of a bad hire.

Confidentiality and High-Touch Service

Used for sensitive, high-level, or confidential roles, the process ensures discretion and offers a more personalized service.

Consultative Partnership

The search firm acts as an extension of the client company, focusing on long-term goals, cultural alignment, and strategic hiring.
