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.
