RETAINED SEARCH​​

Retained Search is a recruitment service where payments are made at different stages throughout the hiring process. Such as commencement, shortlist and placement. This method ensures a dedicated and thorough search process, for senior, specialised or confidential roles, often resulting in higher success rates. It also allows us to work in true partnership with our clients to fully understand their specific needs and culture, allowing us to identify the best possible candidates.

 

Benefits of Retained Search:

1. Priority and Focus: Since we are partially paid upfront, the search takes higher priority, ensuring a dedicated effort to find the right candidate.

2. Quality Over Speed: The focus is on finding the best fit rather than the fastest placement, reducing the risk of bad hires.

3. Access to Passive Candidates: We often have access to candidates who are not actively looking for new roles but may be a perfect fit.

4. Confidentiality: This method is ideal for sensitive or high-level positions where discretion is crucial.

5. Comprehensive Vetting: Candidates undergo thorough screening and assessment, ensuring they meet the required qualifications and fit the company culture.

 

Examples:

• Executive Leadership: A multinational corporation might use retained search to find a new CEO or Partner with a specific industry background and leadership style.

• Specialised Roles: A technology consulting company could employ retained search firm to hire a leading technologist with niche expertise in cutting-edge AI or digital transformation.

 

Our Retained Search service provides a strategic and effective approach to filling critical and confidential roles. It ensures dedicated resources, a thorough and tailored search process and the opportunity for organisations to secure top-tier talent.
