Retained Executive Search

Retained executive search is recommended for your most important, confidential or difficult recruiting efforts.

The retained recruiting relationship brings your company and our firm into an exclusive partnership in a critical and possibly confidential executive recruiting assignment. Retained search, sometimes referred to as “retainer search” is an exclusive working relationship involving a contract and payment of fees at regular intervals during the course of the search project.

Retainer fees
A fee basis is estimated or determined. Retainer fees are divided into 3 equal parts. The first retainer payment is made prior to commencing the search.  At 30 days, a second retainer payment is made.  At 60 days, the final payment is made.
