The Value of Retained and Exclusive Searches
A retained search is the most efficient manner of filling a key position with the best
qualified candidate. There are key differences between retained and contingent
searches, and certainly the firms that provide these different services. A retained
search is conducted with a higher level of commitment, exclusivity and mutual trust.
We fill more than 90% of all retained searches we accept. Here’s why:
- We dedicate resources to work only on the retained position, until the position is
filled. You will have exclusivity of presented candidates through the entire interview
process. We will not submit them to other companies.
- We will contractually agree to a timeline with milestones for candidate submission,
interview process, feedback, tendering of the offer, and closure date of the position.
We will work on the position until it is filled. We further find that incorporating tangible
guidelines is an impetus for both parties to partner efficiently and fill the position(s) quickly.
- Please review our search process for more detailed information and contact us directly
to see how a retained and exclusive search can produce impact-hires for your organization.
Why are contingent searches less successful in producing the very
best candidates?
- Most recruiters that only work on contingent searches may have ten to twenty
open positions simultaneously. Stretching the recruiter’s workday to ten hours, and
dividing his/her search time equally, yields only thirty minutes to one hour per day
recruiting on your behalf! This process is less likely to find and recruit the most qualified
candidates in the market — who are typically not actively looking.
- A recruiter on a contingent search may place between twenty and one hundred
calls on your behalf. With no further commitment from the client, the recruiter will likely
move on to the next position, one which is hopefully easier to fill. Is this the service solution
you require to fill a critical position?
Don't Settle for Second Best
In today's employer driven marketplace, it is critical to a company's success to ensure that
every hire made
through an agency is "above the norm." You should be picky and not settle for second
best. We may not be the firm to place an entire sales team, but we will be the firm
that places next year's President's Club Winners.
As we pursue our mission, we seek out clients that truly recognize the value of fostering
a long term relationship with their customers, and have built their success upon superior
performance, trust, reliability and creativity.
Good things happen when top candidates are introduced to top companies. Sales increase,
training expenses decrease, and retention increases.
Profits increase.
And we're on our way to developing a long and successful partnership. Call or
