Why Retained Search?

Why Choose a Retained Search Firm?

When looking to fill open positions many companies opt to use contingent recruiters, and we understand why. While the total fees for both retained and contingent firms may be the same, the contingent fee structure might seem appealing to those unfamiliar with the differences between both types of service.

Finding Candidates

Contingent recruiters tend to be a go-to resource for quickly providing resumes of active job seekers at no cost unless a presented candidate is hired. Most contingent firms have a long list of open searches and gravitate to the easiest assignments to maximize profits. These recruiters typically present easy-to-find applicants that meet basic hiring criteria and even compete with their clients for candidates. Without fully vetting their candidates, contingent recruiters leave the evaluation and the rest of the hiring process to the client, while waiting to see if the hire is made.

Finding the Right Candidates

Retained search firms, like Executek, work hand-in-hand with their clients from start through successful hire. Executek gives every client the undivided attention they deserve. From day one, our team takes an active approach, obtaining an insider’s view of our client’s business structure and corporate culture. This equips us with the insight and information necessary to find and recruit candidates that are not only fully qualified but will also fit with your culture and contribute to your team synergy.
