FAQS
What is your Executive Recruiting pricing model?
We keep our pricing model simple and transparent—so you always know what to expect, with no surprises.
For executive and leadership-level roles, we typically recommend a retained search model. This allows us to dedicate the time, care, and discretion these high-impact hires require while protecting your brand in a competitive, niche market. In some cases, we can also offer contingent search options, depending on the specifics of the role and your needs.
Our retained search fee is a shared-risk approach:
- 1/3rd of the fee when the search begins.
- 1/3rd when the candidate shortlist is complete.
- 1/3rd on successful placement of the candidate.
- *All searches backed by our 5-year guarantee.
Factors affecting the retained search fee:
- The fee is 20-30% of the estimated first-year compensation.
- Flexible search requirements such as skill, experience, and location.
- The volume of positions to fill.
- The difficulty of the search. (examples: market conditions, skillset, industry, availability, and more).
