Work with us on our premium offering. A retained recruitment search is a premium, partnership-based hiring model where a company engages a recruitment firm exclusively to fill a specific role, usually for senior, strategic, or hard-to-find positions.

 

Unlike contingency recruitment (where payment is made only when a candidate is placed), a retained search involves an upfront commitment, reflecting the recruiter’s deeper investment of time and resources.

Benefits: Dedicated focus and priority, access to hidden talent, a deeper partnership and understanding, quality over quantity, strategic insight and long-term value.
