Retained Search
Our retained search option offers complete, full-service
with a dedicated project team assigned to your search until
it is completed. Our retained search option is used at all
levels where there is a need that must be filled in a short
period of time. The terms and conditions of our retained
search are:
1/3 due upon signing of the
contract
1/3 upon presentation of the short list of
candidates
1/3 following offer and acceptance in
writing
The service charge for this option is one
third of the first year's total gross taxable remuneration.
Where the Client provides a vehicle to the candidate a flat
fee of £2000 will be included in the introduction fee
payable.
Engagement
Fee
Where more commitment is required than a contingency search
but a full retainer cannot be justified, the payment of an
engagement fee covers set up costs and limits exposure for
both parties. The fee payable is one third of the first
year's total gross taxable remuneration. Where the Client
provides a vehicle to the candidate a fee of £2000 will be
included in the introduction fee payable. A non-refundable
engagement fee of 20% of the projected fee is due upon
commencement. This will be deducted from the final invoice
on offer and acceptance.
Project
Search
When your needs are for multiple candidates in the same
profile, our project search is your guaranteed option. A
project team is selected to handle all openings
simultaneously, ensuring quality control standards that are
unsurpassed as well as deadlines in delivering a number of
candidates within your time-frame. The terms and conditions
of project search are based on the difficulty of the
search, the availability of candidates, the time required
for the process and the number of positions.
Advertised
Search
In certain circumstances advertised search makes good
sense, particularly when a large number of applicants
spread over a wide geographic area need to be surfaced very
quickly or the brief is of a wide ranging nature making
identification of suitable candidates unduly difficult. We
will plan, create and implement an advertising campaign in
line with your brief. Simultaneously we will conduct a
search against the brief, thus maximising the effectiveness
of the exercise. The service charge for this option is 25%
of the first year's total gross taxable remuneration. Where
the Client provides a vehicle to the candidate a fee of
£2000 will be included in the introduction fee payable.
Media and any associated production costs will be recovered
at cost.
Contingency
Search
Contingency search may be used for ongoing openings that
are not urgent in nature. Many clients select this option
when a critical need does not exist, but utilisation for a
particular profile is constant. No exclusivity of candidate
is offered with this search method. The terms and
conditions of contingency search are:
Payment is due on the successful completion of the search.
The service charge will be one third of the first year's
total gross taxable remuneration, including base salary,
bonuses and commissions. Where the Client provides a
vehicle to the candidate a fee of £2000 will be included in
the introduction fee payable.
