FAQ Section
What is the difference between contingency and retained executive search?
Retained search is a dedicated, consultative engagement in which a firm is compensated in stages to recruit senior‑level or highly specialized talent. This model emphasizes exclusivity, deep market research, and a high level of partnership throughout the search process.
Contingency search operates on a “no placement, no fee” basis, where firms are paid only upon a successful hire. It is typically used for mid‑level, operational, or high‑volume roles and prioritizes speed and broad candidate outreach.
In essence, retained search delivers greater strategic commitment and depth, while contingency search offers faster turnaround and lower upfront cost.
